overshadowing
b
pseudoconditioning
c
blocking
Question 18

b
a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
c
two neutral stimuli
Question 19

c
Backward
Question 28
The Rescorla-Wagner model is a mathematical description of:
a
the learning curve.
b
how instrumental conditioning works.
c
how animals, but not people, learn.
d
how operant conditioning works.
Question 29
What happens to the learning curve if k increases?

More learning happens on each trial AND maximum learning increases
b
Maximum learning increases
c

d
More learning happens on each trial
Question 31
I flashed a light, had my child press a button, and then administered a mild shock to her finger. I did this repeatedly over many trials. At the end of my conditioning experiment, my child would move her hand away when she saw the flashing light, but also when she heard a tone, or when she saw the tv go on. This is likely because of:
a
habituation
b
conditioned suppression
c
pseudoconditioning
d
a fixed action pattern
Question 34
While you are stopped at a traffic light and listening to a new song on the radio, you are rear-ended by the driver behind you. You suffer mild whiplash and minor bruising, and you are terribly frightened by the accident. Weeks later, you still get anxious whenever you hear the song that was on the radio at the time of the accident.
From a classical conditioning perspective, the fear you felt at the moment you were rear-ended was a(n)
a
conditioned response
b
unconditioned stimulus
c
unconditioned response
d
conditioned stimulus
Question 35
A treatment method that involves prolonged exposure to a feared stimulus is
a
reality therapy
b
in vivo desensitization
c
systematic desensitization
d
flooding
Question 36
Of all the treatments for phobias, ____is probably the most risky:
a
None of the treatments for phobias are risky
b
Flooding
c
Systematic desensitization
d
Hybrid treatment
Question 37
The repeated presentation of a CS without the US is the procedure of
a
inhibition
b
extinction
c
spontaneous recovery
d
suppression
Question 38
An experimenter exposes a rat to a tone CS followed by a shock US. Once conditioning is complete, the experimenter exposes the rat to a light CS followed by the original tone CS. This procedure is likely to lead to:
a
sensory preconditioning
b
higher-order conditioning
c
latent inhibition
d
US pre-exposure

stimulus substitution
c
preparatory response
d
conditioned inhibition response

pain
b
training in deep-muscle relaxation
c
live exposure to the feared object
d
a very fast procedure
