Multiple Choice

Courtney is the supervisor of all the cashiers at a local grocery store. When cashiers have questions, they flip on a light to signal C to come assist them. Initially, C walked quickly immediately upon seeing the lights flash at the grocery store. Now, after seeing hundreds of lights flash ocer the course of a week, C finds that she does not walk as quickly over to the cashiers when she sees a light. This example best illustrates the concept of

Multiple Choice

Every day for a week, Dumbkid, a 2 year old, hears a loud honk and sees a red truck pass by her house, which leads her to cry. The next week, Dumbkid begins crying when she sees the red truck even though it did not honk. The red truck never honks again, but every so often, Dumbkid will cry when she sees this red truck and other red vehicles, although she never cries when seeing vehicles of other colors. What is the red truck in this example?

1

conditioned response

2

unconditioned stimulus

3

conditioned stimulus

4

unconditioned response

Multiple Choice

Every day for a week, Dumbkid, a 2 year old, hears a loud honk and sees a red truck pass by her house, which leads her to cry. The next week, Dumbkid begins crying when she sees the red truck even though it did not honk. The red truck never honks again, but every so often, Dumbkid will cry when she sees this red truck and other red vehicles, although she never cries when seeing vehicles of other colors. Which of the following statements best explains why Dumbkid cries every so often when the truck no longer honks?

1

she has become habituated to the truck

2

she is experiencing spontaneous recovery

3

extinction of Dumbkid's conditioned response has occurred

4

she has yet to acquire an association between the truck and the honking

1

he demonstrated that learning can be studied objectively

2

he showed that learning is a subjective process

3

he discovered that only mammals can be classically conditioned

4

he identified the neural circuits used in classical conditioning

Multiple Choice

Dr B classically conditioned babies to smile every time they saw a bottle full of milk. He then repeatedly showed the babes a picture of a tree before they were presented with a bottle of milk. He noticed that 98 % of the time, babies smiled at the tree picture when it was presented alone, which was a rate that was beyond what could be expected by chance or error. Which of the following statements most accurately describes Dr B's results?

1

the bottle of milk caused the babies to smile because Dr B conducted an experiment

2

there was a statistically significant effect of higher-order conditioning in this study

3

babies smiled at the tree picture, because the tree served as an unconditioned stimulus

4

the bottle of milk allowed the babies to spontaneously recover a response to the tree image

Which of the following is the best example of learning?

1

a dog salivated when food is placed in its mouth

2

a honeybee stings when the hive is threatened

3

a child cries when his brother hits him

4

a child flinches when he sees a balloon, because he is afraid of it popping
