Let's say you come home to your lovable dog that waits for you every day. Initially whenever you come into the room he barks and wags his tail in excitement to see you after a day at work. Pretty soon you begin to notice that he barks and is excited upon hearing the garage door open. What is the CS?

the garage door after coming home many times

In the Rescorla Wagner (RW) model, the alpha and beta are coefficients related to the (select all that apply)

• learning rate
• intensity of the US
• saliency of the CS

What would happen if the garage door opened and closed without you there many times?

Barking and waging would begin to extinguish

What is the UCR?

The barking

Initially, you place "free" food pellets in the hopper without the animal doing anything. The food is the

unconditioned stimulus

You then try to entice the rat to press the lever by taping a food pellet onto the right lever so that you can have animal press the right lever. You are

instrumentally conditioned

You then change the code in the program so that the animal has to wait on average 3 seconds after pressing the lever and then has to press the lever again. This schedule of reinforcement has changed from

CRF to VI3

In each trial where the VI3 has been reached and a pellet drops into the food dispenser, a cue light comes on while the animal is eating. The cue light is a

conditioned stimulus

Half of the animals you train to press the left lever and half of the animals you train to press the right lever for food. You are

counterbalancing the lever

After the animal shows an asymptotic response in a given trial, you change the code of your program so that the light does not come on, and pressing the lever does not result in a food pellet. The animals will go through

extinction

After the animal has decreased responding to about 10% of their baseline responding, you present the cue again and notice the animal starts to respond again even without the US. This is

cue-induced reinstatement

What is classical conditioning?

learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behavior

What is spontaneous recovery?

the increase in responding to the CS following a pause after the extinction

What is renewal?

acquisition in context A, extinction in context B, and the response that happens in context A

What is generalization?

presenting untrained stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response

In one of Pavlov’s studies, for instance, he first conditioned the dogs to salivate to a sound, and then repeatedly paired a new CS, a black square, with the sound. This is an example of

2nd order conditioning

The similarity between positive and negative reinforcement is that

They both strengthen a response

A child who is given a timeout after fighting with a sibling is an example of

Positive punishment

Someone who consumes drugs to take away their pain is an example of

negative reinforcement

Kohler's experiments with chimpanzees showed the principle of

insight learning

learning that is not reinforced and not demonstrated until there is motivation to do so is called

latent learning

The Bobo doll experiment shows the principles of

observational learning takes place whether the child sees a live, film, or cartoon version of events
