PSYC 1010-Chapter 5, Learning Questions with 100%
VERIFIED Answers UPDATED!!!
Learning - ANSWER Any relatively permanent change in
behavior brought about an experience or practice.
Stimulus - ANSWER Any object, event, or experience that causes
a response.
Response - ANSWER The reaction of an organism.
Classical Conditioning - ANSWER Learning to make a reflex
response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus
that normally produces it. One of the simplest forms of
learning.
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - ANSWER The original, naturally
occurring stimulus (food)
Unconditioned Response (UCR) - ANSWER The reflex response
to the unconditioned stimulus (salivation)

Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - ANSWER After being paired with
the UCS many times, the CS causes the same reflextive
response (sight of food dish or experimenter)
Conditioned Response (CR) - ANSWER Response to the CS
(salivation after seeing the food dish or experimenter)
In order for Classical Conditioning to work - ANSWER (1) CS
must come before UCS
(2) CS and UCS must come very close together in time
(3) Neutral stimulus must be paired with the UCS many times
(4) The CS should be distinct stimulus
Stimulus Generalization - ANSWER When the CR occurs to a
stimulus that is similar to the CS
Stimulus Discrimination - ANSWER When an organism learns to
respond to different stimuli in different ways
