PSY 1012 EXAMINATION SET 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS GRADED A+
● associative learning. Answer: form of learning that involves
connecting certain stimuli or events that occur together in the
environment (classical and operant conditioning)
● classical conditioning. Answer: learning in which the stimulus or
experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired or associated
with the behavior
● cognitive map. Answer: mental picture of the layout of the
environment
● conditioned response (CR). Answer: response caused by the
conditioned stimulus
● conditioned stimulus (CS). Answer: stimulus that elicits a response
due to its being paired with an unconditioned stimulus
● continuous reinforcement. Answer: rewarding a behavior every time it
occurs
, ● extinction. Answer: decrease in the conditioned response when the
unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus
● fixed interval reinforcement schedule. Answer: behavior is rewarded
after a set amount of time
● fixed ratio reinforcement schedule. Answer: set number of responses
must occur before a behavior is rewarded
● habituation. Answer: when we learn not to respond to a stimulus that
is presented repeatedly without change
● higher-order conditioning. Answer: using a conditioned stimulus to
condition a neutral stimulus
● instinct. Answer: unlearned knowledge, involving complex patterns of
behavior; instincts are thought to be more prevalent in lower animals
than in humans
● latent learning. Answer: learning that occurs, but it may not be evident
until there is a reason to demonstrate it
● law of effect. Answer: behavior that is followed by consequences
satisfying to the organism will be repeated and behaviors that are
followed by unpleasant consequences will be discouraged
