Exam 8: Respondent Conditioning

A previously neutral stimulus that is able to elicit a response similar to the unconditioned response as a result of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus is called a ____________ stimulus.

When a neutral stimulus is paired with a CS, the neutral stimulus will become a CS and elicit a CR.This process is called.

An unconditioned stimulus elicits a(n).

Which of the following is an example of a conditioned emotional response?

In ____________ conditioning, a response is elicited by an antecedent stimulus, and conditioning involves the pairing of two stimuli.

During spontaneous recovery, the magnitude of the CR is usually smaller than the magnitude of the CR that occurred prior to extinction.

As a result of being paired with a loud noise, a flashing light has come to elicit a startle reflex.When the flashing light is repeatedly presented without the loud noise, the startle reflex eventually stops occurring.This process in which a conditioned stimulus is no longer able to elicit a conditioned response is referred to as:

Which of the possible temporal relationships between the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus is least likely to be effective?

In behavior modification, who was the first person to demonstrate the process of respondent conditioning?

Which of the following can develop through the process of respondent conditioning?

When Pavlov presented the sound of the metronome repeatedly without putting the meat powder in the dog's mouth, the dog quit salivating to the metronome.What is this process? ___________________

After respondent extinction occurred in which the dog no longer salivated to the sound of the metronome, later Pavlov presented the metronome and the dog began to salivate (to a lesser extent).This is called .

If the unconditioned stimulus is presented before the neutral stimulus it is referred to as ____________ conditioning.

As a result respondent conditioning, the becomes a conditioned stimulus and elicits a(n) .

In order for respondent conditioning to be most effective, the neutral stimulus should occur ____________ the unconditioned stimulus occurs.

Define respondent extinction.

Responses that are elicited by antecedent stimuli without any conditioning or learning taking place are referred to as ____________ responses.

_______________ is an example of a conditioned emotional response.

If Pavlov occasionally (1 out of 10 times) gave the dogs the meat powder following the sound of the metronome, the dogs would be more or less likely to salivate to the metronome.

Which of the following is NOT an example of an unconditioned response?
