  • 2. 

    Neutral Stimulus, Unconditioned Stimulus and Controlled Stimulus are components of __________ conditioning.

    • Operant

    • Neutral

    • Logical

    • Classical

    Correct Answer
    A. Classical
    Explanation
    Neutral Stimulus, Unconditioned Stimulus, and Conditioned Stimulus are all components of classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus, which naturally elicits a response. Through repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that can elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. This process is fundamental to classical conditioning, which involves learning associations between stimuli and responses.

  • 3. 

    What term does this definition describe? "a classically conditioned dislike for and avoidance of a particular food that develops when an organism becomes ill after eating the food."

    • Behaviorism

    • Biological Preparedness

    • Taste Aversion

    • Placebo Response

    Correct Answer
    A. Taste Aversion
    Explanation
    This definition describes taste aversion, which is a classically conditioned dislike and avoidance of a particular food that occurs when an organism becomes sick after consuming that food. This aversion is a learned response that helps the organism avoid potentially harmful or toxic substances in the future. Taste aversion is a specific type of conditioned response that is unique to the sense of taste. It is not related to behaviorism, biological preparedness, or the placebo response.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What term does this definition describe? "Learning that occurs in the absence of reinforcement but is not behaviorally demonstrated until a reinforcer becomes available."

    • Operant Conditioning

    • Classical Conditioning

    • Latent Learning

    • Observational Learning

    Correct Answer
    A. Latent Learning
    Explanation
    Latent learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge or skills without any immediate reinforcement or demonstration of behavior. This means that an individual learns something without actually showing it until a reinforcer or incentive is presented. In other words, the learning remains hidden or latent until there is a motivation to display it. This concept is different from operant conditioning, classical conditioning, and observational learning, which involve more immediate and observable behavior changes in response to reinforcement, conditioning, or observation of others.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is, punishment by application?

    • Situation in which an operant is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus.

    • Presentation of a stimulus or event following a behavior that acts to decrease the likelihood of the behavior's being repeated.

    • Situation in which a response is followed by the addition of a reinforcing stimulus, increasing the likelihood that the response will be repeated in similar situations

    • An idea that an organism is innately predisposed to form associations between certain stimuli and responses.

    Correct Answer
    A. Situation in which an operant is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus.
    Explanation
    Punishment by application refers to a situation in which an operant behavior is followed by the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus. This means that when a behavior occurs, something unpleasant or unwanted is added or presented, which decreases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. This is a form of punishment that aims to discourage certain behaviors by associating them with negative consequences.
