Exam 7: Learning-Part A

In an experiment studying classical conditioning,a tone sounds and 5 seconds later a mild skin shock is delivered to a participant.The skin shock results in a stress response consisting of a temporary increase in heart rate.This process is repeated once every 5 minutes.After a number of trials,the participant demonstrates an elevated heart rate when the tone sounds and before the shock is actually delivered.Within the context of this example,what is the US?

Recent brain imagining research has shown that _____ is activated during artificial grammar learning and the _____ cortex is activated during sequence learning on serial reaction time tasks.

What was the CS in the Little Albert study?

The fact that persons experiencing amnesia do not show deficits in implicit learning suggests that _____ is NOT involved in implicit learning.

A challenge to operant accounts,Tolman's experiments demonstrated that latent learning can be established in rats:

Research on diffusion chains of behavior involving the novel use of a tool has been shown to be faithfully transmitted across _____ children.

A reward prediction error is the difference between the:

Reinforcers _____ and punishers _____ the future probability of the behavior that led to these respective consequences.

Which statement is a CORRECT description of a diffusion chain?

Imagine that your girlfriend loves zydeco music.Eventually,your girlfriend dumps you,walking out of your apartment in the middle of a song.Your stomach tightens,and you are sad and angry.A few weeks later,you happen to hear zydeco music in a friend's car.Assuming classical conditioning occurred,what should happen when you hear the zydeco?

Which type of reinforcement schedule has the HIGHEST rate of response?

Learning that takes place largely independent of awareness of both the process and the products of information acquisition is called:

Which behavior at first requires explicit learning but,over time,becomes implicit?

The _____ nucleus of the amygdala plays a critical role in emotional conditioning.

In one study of observational learning,laboratory monkeys who had never seen a snake developed a fear response to snakes after watching a video of:

The grid floor in an operant chamber is electrified.Each time a rat presses a lever,however,the shock is turned off for one minute.The rat quickly learns to press the lever the second that the grid becomes electrified.Lever pressing has been:

Two-year-old children watched a human model using a tool either efficiently or inefficiently and then themselves interacted with the tool.Which statement is TRUE?

Judgments of learning are:

In the classic Bobo doll experiment,after watching adults get punished for hitting the Bobo doll,children:

When Tom's sister burned herself playing with matches,she cried for a long time.A by-product of this experience was that Tom also learned not to play with matches.Tom's learning experience is an example of:
