Classical Conditioning Review: Classical Conditioning Review Test Your Knowledge


Question: Question Explain and define classical conditioning.


Answer: Answer Classical Conditioning is the basic learning process that involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a response-producing stimulus until the neutral stimulus acquires the capacity to elicit the same response.


Question: Question List the classical conditioning terms.


Answer: Answer Unconditioned Conditioned Stimulus Response


Question: Question Define the classical conditioning terms.


Answer: Answer Unconditioned Unlearned, untaught Conditioned Learned, taught Stimulus Something that elicits a response Response A reaction caused by a stimulus


Question: Question Define: Neutral Stimulus (NS) Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Conditioned Stimulus (CS)


Answer: Answer Neutral Stimulus An unconditioned stimulus always elicits a reflexive or unconditioned response. Unconditioned Stimulus An unconditioned stimulus always elicits a reflexive or unconditioned response. Conditioned Stimulus A conditioned stimulus is a formerly neutral stimulus that acquires the capacity to elicit a reflexive response


Question: Question Define Unconditioned Response (UCR) Conditioned Response (CR)


Answer: Answer Unconditioned Response An unconditioned response is an unlearned, reflexive response that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus. Conditioned Response A conditioned response is the learned, reflexive response to a conditioned stimulus.


Question: Question Using Pavlov’s example of Classical Conditioning, what was the: Neutral Stimulus (NS) Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Unconditioned Response (UCR) Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Conditioned Response (CR)


Answer: Answer Neutral Stimulus: Bell Unconditioned Stimulus: Food Unconditioned Response: Salivation Conditioned Stimulus: Bell Conditioned Response: Salivation


Question: Question Provide an example of Classical Conditioning.


Answer: Answer Sara has always felt calm and relaxed when listening to classical music. Lately, she’s been lighting a candle just before she listens to classical music. Now she doesn’t even need the classical music to feel relaxed.


Question: Question Now identify your example’s: Neutral Stimulus (NS) Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Unconditioned Response (UCR) Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Conditioned Response (CR)


Answer: Answer Neutral Stimulus: Candle Unconditioned Stimulus: Music Unconditioned Response: Feeling relaxed Conditioned Stimulus: Candle Conditioned Response: Feeling relaxed


Question: Question Diagram the classical conditioning model using the classical conditioning example that you provided.


Answer: Answer NS + UCS UCR Candle Music Feeling relaxed CS CR Candle Feeling relaxed


Question: Question What are the factors that affect conditioning?


Answer: Answer Stimulus Generalization Stimulus Discrimination Extinction Spontaneous Recovery


Question: Question Define/explain: Stimulus Generalization Stimulus Discrimination Extinction Spontaneous Recovery


Answer: Answer Stimulus Generalization The occurrence of a conditioned response not only to the original conditioned stimulus, but to other, similar stimuli as well. Stimulus Discrimination The occurrence of a conditioned response to a specific stimulus, but not to other, similar stimuli. Extinction The gradual weakening and apparent disappearance of the conditioned response. Spontaneous Recovery The reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of time without exposure to the conditioned stimulus.
