What is the process by which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, leading to a conditioned response?

  1. Operant Conditioning

  2. Classical Conditioning

  3. Instrumental Conditioning

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs when a neutral stimulus is paired with a meaningful stimulus, leading to a conditioned response.

Who is credited with developing the theory of classical conditioning?

  1. B.F. Skinner

  2. John B. Watson

  3. Ivan Pavlov

  4. Edward Thorndike


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ivan Pavlov is credited with developing the theory of classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs.

In classical conditioning, what is the neutral stimulus?

  1. The stimulus that naturally elicits the conditioned response

  2. The stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus

  3. The stimulus that is presented after the conditioned response

  4. The stimulus that is presented before the unconditioned stimulus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In classical conditioning, the neutral stimulus is the stimulus that is initially neutral and does not elicit a response.

In classical conditioning, what is the unconditioned stimulus?

  1. The stimulus that naturally elicits the conditioned response

  2. The stimulus that is paired with the neutral stimulus

  3. The stimulus that is presented after the conditioned response

  4. The stimulus that is presented before the neutral stimulus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus is the stimulus that naturally elicits a response.

In classical conditioning, what is the conditioned stimulus?

  1. The stimulus that naturally elicits the conditioned response

  2. The stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus

  3. The stimulus that is presented after the conditioned response

  4. The stimulus that is presented before the unconditioned stimulus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus is the stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus and eventually elicits the conditioned response.

In classical conditioning, what is the conditioned response?

  1. The response that is naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus

  2. The response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus

  3. The response that is elicited by the neutral stimulus

  4. The response that is elicited by the unconditioned response


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In classical conditioning, the conditioned response is the response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus.

What is the process by which a conditioned response gradually weakens and eventually disappears?

  1. Extinction

  2. Operant Conditioning

  3. Instrumental Conditioning

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Extinction is the process by which a conditioned response gradually weakens and eventually disappears when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

What is the process by which a conditioned response can be transferred to a similar stimulus?

  1. Generalization

  2. Discrimination

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Generalization is the process by which a conditioned response can be transferred to a similar stimulus.

What is the process by which an organism learns to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and a similar stimulus?

  1. Discrimination

  2. Generalization

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Discrimination is the process by which an organism learns to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and a similar stimulus.

What is the term for the spontaneous recovery of a conditioned response after it has been extinguished?

  1. Renewal

  2. Generalization

  3. Discrimination

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Renewal is the term for the spontaneous recovery of a conditioned response after it has been extinguished.

What is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus?

  1. Generalization

  2. Discrimination

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Generalization is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus.

What is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is not elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus?

  1. Discrimination

  2. Generalization

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Discrimination is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is not elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus.

What is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is different from the conditioned stimulus?

  1. Generalization

  2. Discrimination

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Generalization is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is different from the conditioned stimulus.

What is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is not elicited by a stimulus that is different from the conditioned stimulus?

  1. Discrimination

  2. Generalization

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Discrimination is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is not elicited by a stimulus that is different from the conditioned stimulus.

What is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the unconditioned stimulus?

  1. Generalization

  2. Discrimination

  3. Extinction

  4. Pavlovian Conditioning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Generalization is the term for the phenomenon in which a conditioned response is elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the unconditioned stimulus.
