Which of the following is NOT a type of learning studied in comparative psychology?

Classical conditioning
Operant conditioning
Insight learning
Habituation

In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) is:

A neutral stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US)
A stimulus that naturally elicits a response
A response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus
A stimulus that is presented after the conditioned stimulus

In operant conditioning, the reinforcer is:

A stimulus that increases the likelihood of a behavior
A stimulus that decreases the likelihood of a behavior
A stimulus that is presented before the desired behavior
A stimulus that is presented after the desired behavior

Insight learning is a type of learning that involves:

A sudden understanding of a problem
A gradual change in behavior based on experience
A response that is elicited by a conditioned stimulus
A decrease in response to a repeated stimulus

Which of the following species has been shown to exhibit insight learning?

Chimpanzees
Rats
Pigeons
Dolphins

Which of the following is NOT a type of memory studied in comparative psychology?

Short-term memory is a type of memory that:

Stores information for a few seconds or minutes
Stores information for a few hours or days
Stores information for a few weeks or months
Stores information for a few years or decades

Long-term memory is a type of memory that:

Stores information for a few seconds or minutes
Stores information for a few hours or days
Stores information for a few weeks or months
Stores information for a few years or decades

Working memory is a type of memory that:

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can affect learning and memory in animals?

Genetics
Environment
Experience
Age

Genetics can influence learning and memory in animals by:

Determining the animal's intelligence
Determining the animal's personality
Determining the animal's learning style
Determining the animal's memory capacity

Environment can influence learning and memory in animals by:

Providing opportunities for learning
Providing challenges for learning
Providing rewards for learning
Providing punishments for learning

Experience can influence learning and memory in animals by:

Teaching the animal new things
Exposing the animal to new environments
Providing the animal with feedback
All of the above

Comparative psychology of learning and memory has implications for:

Understanding animal behavior
Developing animal training methods
Conserving endangered species
All of the above
