Watson’s “Little Albert” experiment demonstrated which of the following pairs of classical conditioning processes? generalization and acquisition In operant conditioning, food is an example of a __________ reinforcer. Primary Stimulus discrimination occurs when an organism generalizes one consequence to many stimuli similar to the discriminative stimulus. False The discriminative stimulus in operant conditioning is one that predicts the probability of a consequence occurring. True Positive and negative reinforcement can be used to __________ wanted behavior. A A reinforcement that occurs when a behavior or response is reinforced after every demonstration is __________ reinforcement. B Negative punishment is a type of punishment used in operant conditioning in which the __________ of a rewarding stimulus decreases the tendency of a particular response. C In negative reinforcement, the reinforcement for the target behavior can most accurately be described as __________. pleasant Positive and negative reinforcement can be used to __________ wanted behavior. strengthen The reinforcer is presented on an inconsistent basis in a(n) __________ schedule of reinforcement. variable A reinforcement that occurs when a behavior or response is reinforced after every demonstration is __________ reinforcement. continuous A reinforcement that occurs when a behavior or response is reinforced after every demonstration is __________ reinforcement. delaying punishment Negative punishment is a type of punishment used in operant conditioning in which the __________ of a rewarding stimulus decreases the tendency of a particular response. removal Justine starts
yelling in the store when she wants something. Her parents buy her a toy in order to get Justine to stop yelling. negative reinforcement According to research, the most powerful reinforcement technique in conditioning is __________. positive reinforcement Receiving an electrical shock when you forget to turn off the power before working on an electrical socket is an example of a negative punishment. False Positive punishment occurs when a pleasant stimulus is removed after demonstration of a behavior. False One example of a fixed-interval reward schedule is the biweekly paycheck many workers earn. True Both positive and negative reinforcement serve to strengthen wanted behavior. True When a behavior is highly resistant to extinction, the organism takes longer to stop responding after a reinforcement is no longer given. True Punishment is more effective when applied at least an hour after the target behavior has occurred. False Molly is eating red and black jellybeans from a paper bag. She is not looking at the jellybeans as she eats them. She likes red jellybeans, but she does not like black jellybeans. The amount of jellybeans she has to take from the jar before she gets a red one is never the same. Molly is on a variable-ratio schedule of reinforcement. Lighting a fire on a cold night to get warm is an example of a positive reinforcement. False Molly catches her dog chewing on her favorite slippers. Molly swats the dog on the nose so that it will not chew her slippers again. positive punishment Research has indicated that physical punishment is the most effective kind of punishment. False When punishment is applied after every instance of an unwanted target behavior, it is generally more effective. True One example of a fixed-interval reward schedule is the biweekly paycheck many workers earn. True Glenda is a gymnast. She performs a perfect triple backflip off the high bars. After landing successfully, the crowd erupts in applause. positive reinforcement Harrison sends an e-mail to his boss. Harrison expects a response within five minutes, but he can’t help himself and checks every 30 seconds. After five minutes, a replying e-mail is delivered just as he expected. Harrison is on a fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement. The memory process of accessing information from the past is called __________. retrieving Memory depends on the __________. activation of a person’s neurons Alan Baddeley proposed that short-term memory has four components characterized as __________ memory. working An example of an echoic memory is __________. a thunderclap during a thunderstorm The ability to drive a car is an example of __________ memory. implicit As soon as Carol heard the phone number on the radio for a chance to win free concert tickets, she raced to the phone repeating out loud, “555-23-47,” so she wouldn’t forget before dialing. This is an example of __________. chunking Sensory memory lasts a fraction of a second before the information is lost. True What does iconic memory store? mental traces of things we see The memory process of transferring information into one’s memory system is called __________. encoding Iconic memory is used when a loud thunderclap occurs during a storm. False Memories of specific personal events are examples of semantic long-term memories. False Two ways to transfer a memory into long-term memory are maintenance rehearsal and elaborative rehearsal. True Scott hadn’t been on a bicycle in 12 years, but he hopped on and pedaled away without any hesitation. The skill of being able to ride a bike is stored in Scott’s __________ memory. procedural Riding a bike is an example of a procedural memory. True What are the two types of long-term memory? explicit and implicit Some studies have shown that children with a “weak” memory are more likely to engage in __________ activities. risky One way to enhance deep processing is to make the information __________. personal Research has indicated that using a narrative to recall information may lead to __________ levels of recall. increased Acrostics, acronyms, and rhymes are a few examples of __________. a mnemonic device A mnemonic device in which phrases or poems use the first letter of each word to help a person remember the information is an example of a(n) __________. acrostic Cryptomnesia can occur due to source-monitoring error, where __________ plagiarism takes places. unintentional Context and sensory clues aid one in deciding whether or not something occurred. This is called __________. reality monitoring A mnemonic device is a strategy used to improve memory. True Memory reconstructions are extremely accurate reproductions of information from one’s long-term memory. False For deep processing to occur, it is best to study information in several smaller sessions than in one long session. True Research seems to indicate that using a narrative to recall information leads to decreased levels of recall. False Randy was in an earthquake. Afterwards she talked to her neighbors, who explained the earthquake as “destructive” and “scary.” When asked by another person if anything had fallen during the earthquake, Randy said something did fall when, in fact, nothing had fallen. misinformation effect The misinformation effect is an example of a mnemonic device. False One way that a memory could be distorted is if it includes information that did not actually occur. True It is possible for a mix up to occur between fictitious and factual information. True One way to enhance deep processing is to make the information personal. True The misinformation effect occurs when people incorrectly recall an event they’ve witnessed due to misleading information about the event. True What is the unconditioned stimulus in this example?An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov's experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov's experiment.
What are examples of unconditioned stimulus and unconditioned responses?1 For example, if the smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of hunger in response to the smell of food is the unconditioned response.
What are some examples of unconditioned responses?Anytime you have an involuntary, unlearned response to a stimulus, it is an unconditioned response. Some examples include: Jumping when you hear a loud noise. Puckering your mouth when you eat something sour.
What are the two types of unconditioned stimulus?Two kinds of unconditioned stimuli are apetative and aversive.
