Classical conditioning involves learning:

In the example of Jessica returning home, the conditioned stimulus is:

The unconditioned response occurs:

If someone blows a puff of air into one's eyes, that is an:

The conditioned stimulus elicits the:

In the example where a child overhears derogatory comments about African Americans, what is the conditioned stimulus?

Dionne's nervousness at seeing the track on non-race days is an:

Which is an example of appetitive conditioning?

When the US is an unpleasant event such as shock, the conditioning is called:

The Conditioned Emotional Response was a technique developed to study:

Studies of _____ have been important for understanding biology.

When the eyeblink reflex is conditioned using a tone, the conditioned response is:

The eyeblink CR seems to:

With repeated administration of a drug, an organism will require larger doses for the same effect. This is known as:

The conditioned compensatory response occurs in response to the _____ in order to prepare the organism for the _____.

When a conditioned compensatory response occurs, the:

According to the phenomenon of conditioned compensatory response, drug addicts develop a tolerance because:

The tendency of the body to gravitate toward a state of equilibrium is known as:

To get Pavlov's dog to experience extinction, one would:

To stop unpleasant feelings from occurring when Jennifer hears her favorite song, she should:

The spontaneous recovery of a CR suggests that:

When a more salient cue within a compound acquires more of the share of attention and learning, it is known as:

The phenomenon of blocking demonstrates that:

Suppose one conditions a dog to salivate in response to a tone and then presents both the tone and a light together, followed by food. The dog will:

If a rat has been conditioned with a loud buzzing sound followed by shock, presenting several trials of the buzzing sound alone will cause the association to:

In the Rescorla-Wagner model, if a novel CS is followed by an unexpected US, the prediction error is:

Which statement is TRUE about the Rescorla-Wagner model?

Which statement is considered to be TRUE about a successful model?

For humans performing a category-learning task, Gluck and Bower's neural network model can:

If a US occurs just as often without the tone as it does in the presence of the tone, this suggests that animals are sensitive to:

A reduction in learning about a CS to which there has been prior exposure without any US is called:

According to the idea of latent inhibition, pre-exposing a rat to a light by itself will make it:

In a blocking experiment, an animal conditioned to associate a light with shock and then presented with a tone and light together will experience blocking because:

According to CS modulation theories like Mackintosh's, latent inhibition occurs because the:

Regarding CS modulation versus US modulation theories, it seems that:

A theory of learning considering all cues during a trial as a single event is known as:

The temporal gap between the onset of CS and the onset of the US is known as:

In Garcia and Koelling's taste-aversion studies, it was found that rats in the poison group were more likely to associate a taste with their illness than a tone with their illness. This illustrates:

Which does NOT require the cerebellum in a classical conditioning experiment?

In mammals, the two sites where information about the CS-US association can be stored in the cerebellum are the _____ and the _____.

The _____ has/have different subregions for each kind of sensory stimulation.

The final exit point of CR information from the cerebellum is/are the:

A conditioned eyeblink response can be produced by stimulating:

Removing the _____ abolishes conditioned responses.

Classical conditioning in Aplysia appears to involve:

Anatomical changes in neural circuits (such as growth or loss of synapses) seem to be responsible for _____ forms of memory; intracellular changes (such as an increase or decrease in neurotransmitter vesicles) seem to be responsible for _____ forms of memory.

A regular drug user can have an elevated reaction to his usual drug if he takes it in a new environment. In this example, the familiar environment is a:

When researchers gave animals an injection of an inert placebo to pre-expose them to contextual cues associated with drug use, they found that the animals:

When a drug addict is in the environment where she usually takes her drugs, she will typically feel a craving for the drugs. This craving is a:

It has been suggested that drug addicts should use small amounts of their drug during therapy to extinguish their habit. This is because:
