PsychSim6 Quiz: Classical Conditioning

In the simulation for this lab, when the participants responded to the tone by blinking, that was the: a. conditioned response. b. conditioned stimulus. c. unconditioned response. d. unconditioned stimulus.

a. conditioned response.

Pavlov was inspired to look into associations when he noticed that: a. dogs would salivate before the meat powder was presented. b. dogs only salivated after the meat powder was presented. c. some dogs did not salivate when the meat powder was presented. d. dogs would salivate long after the meat powder was removed.

a. dogs would salivate before the meat powder was presented.

Amy has been conditioned to blink using air puffs and a 1000 mhz tone. The experimenter finds that the conditioned response also occurs for 750 mhz tones, 850 mhz tones, 1250 mhz tones and 1500 mhz tones. This is an example of: a. stimulus generalization b. spontaneous recovery c. stimulus discrimination d. extinction

a. stimulus generalization

In the simulation for this lab, the air puff that caused the eye blink was called the: a. unconditioned stimulus. b. conditioned response. c. unconditioned response. d. conditioned stimulus.

a. unconditioned stimulus.

The first person to do careful scientific studies of learning was: a. John Watson b. Ivan Pavlov c. William Wundt d. William James

b. Ivan Pavlov

In the simulation for this lab, the tone that caused the eye blink was called the: a. unconditioned stimulus. b. conditioned stimulus. c. conditioned response. d. unconditioned response.

b. conditioned stimulus.

When the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus: a. adaptation will occur. b. extinction will occur. c. counter-conditioning will occur. d. spontaneous recovery will occur.

b. extinction will occur.

Jessie was conditioned to blink using an air puff and a tone. The experimenter then presented only the tone until the blink response disappeared. When Jessie returns to the lab the next day she blinks when she hears the tone. This is referred to as: a. extinction b. spontaneous recovery c. relearning d. counter-conditioning

b. spontaneous recovery

In the simulation for this lab, when the participants responded to the air puff by blinking, that was the: a. conditioned stimulus. b. unconditioned response. c. unconditioned stimulus. d. conditioned response.

b. unconditioned response.

Extinction occurs when: a. the unconditioned stimulus is presented after the conditioned stimulus. b. the unconditioned stimulus is presented without the conditioned stimulus. c. the conditioned stimulus is presented with the unconditioned stimulus. d. the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus.

d. the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
