Exam 4: Theories and Research on Classical Conditioning

Physiological studies of eyeblink conditioning in rabbits have found that

A limitation of the Rescorla-Wagner model is that it cannot predict

In classical conditioning,the rate of acquisition to a single CS may be slow if

The research on human phobias of spiders and snakes may be evidence for

If a stimulus is an occasion setter,its presence or absence controls whether or not the subject will respond

In their studies of Aplysia,Kandel and his associates have found that classical conditioning of the gill-withdrawal response

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model,compared to a less salient CS,a more salient CS will receive

The results of Kamin's blocking experiment were surprising because they seemed to contradict the well-established principle of

Research on the effectiveness of different types of stimuli has shown that

Experiments with rats have found that they are most likely to associate

For regular coffee drinkers,the smell and taste of coffee can serve as a CS that

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model,inhibitory conditioning will occur when the actual size of the US is

In the phenomenon of overshadowing,a CS fails to acquire much excitatory strength because

Unlike the Rescorla-Wagner model,Mackintosh's theory of attention states that

According to Wagner's sometimes-opponent-process theory,the CR will be a compensatory response rather than a mimicking response when

According to Siegel's theory,drug tolerance is

One feature of taste-aversion learning that is not found in any other type of learning is

Research on second-order conditioning has found evidence for

Comparator theories of classical conditioning state that animals compare

One phenomenon that taste-aversion learning shares with other types of learning is
