SOLVED

41) The tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus is called a. stimulus generalization. b. stimulus adaptation. c. response generalization. d. transfer of habit strength. 42) After Pavlov’s dogs became conditioned to salivate at the sound of the bell, he experimented with ringing the bell and then failing to present the dogs with any food right away. Soon they stopped salivating to the sound of the bell. This represents the process called a. acquisition. b. testing. c. extinction. d. spontaneous recovery. 43) When the CS is repeatedly presented in the absence of the UCS (food, in this case), the CR will “die out” in a process called a. CR fading. b. extinction. c. habituation. d. generalization fading. 44) You train your dog, Milo, to salivate at the sound of a bell. Then you ring the bell every five minutes and don’t follow the ringing with food for Milo. He salivates less and less and finally stops salivating at all when the bell rings. But the next morning, when you ring the bell, Milo salivates! What term is used to explain the reappearance of this response? a. Counterconditioning b. Instinctive drift c. Spontaneous recovery d. Stimulus discrimination 45) The reappearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred is called a. counterconditioning. b. instinctive drift. c. spontaneous recovery. d. stimulus discrimination. 46) An animal is conditioned to salivate to a bell using Pavlovian procedures. After the conditioning is established, the animal is then put through an extinction procedure and the conditioned salivation disappears. Then the animal is removed from the test situation for several days. When returned to the test situation, the conditioned response is seen again. The effect is known as a. counterconditioning. b. instinctive drift. c. spontaneous recovery. d. stimulus discrimination. 47) Acquisition can be described as the process in which a. the CS produces the UCR. b. the CR produces the CS. c. the CS produces the CR. d. the UCS produces the CR. 48) Ben’s mouth waters every time he hears the ice cream truck’s familiar song in the distance. One day a slightly different song is heard in the distance and Ben’s mouth waters. Ben’s behaviour illustrates a. stimulus discrimination. b. stimulus generalization. c. stimulus assimilation. d. stimulus recovery. 49) Little Albert learns to fear white rats but he does not fear white rabbits. This behaviour illustrates a. spontaneous recovery. b. stimulus discrimination. c. acquisition. d. stimulus generalization. 50) While on a cruise ship, Kevin became sick after eating a seafood dinner. His food poisoning coupled with sea sickness led to a terrible vacation and consequently Kevin shivers at the mere sight of cruise ships. Kevin’s behaviour illustrates the process of a. acquisition. b. generalization. c. discrimination. d. scapegoating.
