Questions and Answers

When a pre-exposed CS is presented with an excitatory stimulus, what happens to conditioned responding?

  • It increases compared to the excitatory stimulus alone
  • It has no effect on conditioned responding
  • It decreases compared to the excitatory stimulus alone
  • It remains the same as the excitatory stimulus alone (correct)

    • What is an example of a generalisation experiment in classical conditioning?

  • Training with CS1 and testing with CS2 (correct)
  • Training with CS2 and testing with CS1
  • Training with CS1 and testing with a different US
  • Training with CS1 and testing with CS1

    • What happens to generalisation over extensive training trials?

  • It increases
  • It becomes random
  • It decreases (correct)
  • It remains the same
