6. Overshadowing is when

  • The compound stimulus consists of two neutral stimuli, where one is more salient
  • The compound stimulus consists of an established CS against an NS

7. Which type of conditioning involves the onset and offset of the NS preceding the US

  • Trace conditioning
  • Delayed conditioning
  • Simultaneous Conditioning
  • Backward conditioning

8. What is the response called when we jerk our hand away from a sharp object?

  • Flexion response
  • The defensive response
  • Orientation response
  • Startle response

9. A response of salivation has been conditioned to a tone. Repeated trials of the tone without presentation of food results in no more salivation. This is an example of;

  • Disassociation
  • Spontaneous recovery
  • Extinction
  • Disinhibition

10. What is the CER paradigm?

  • A theory developed by Skinner and Estes
  • All of the above
  • Conditioned Repression
  • Conditioned expressive response

11. In ______ the presence of an established CS is more readily associated than a US

  • Blocking
  • Overshadowing
  • Latent Inhibition

12. Latent Inhibition means...

  • The phenomenon where a novel stimulus is associated easily
  • All of the above
  • When an unfamiliar stimulus is more readily conditioned
  • When a familiar stimulus is not readily conditioned

13. When hearing a gun we elicit ____, when we touch a hot object we elicit a _____, and when we hear someone talking we elicit a _______

  • Flexion Response, Startle Response, Orienting Response
  • Startle Response, Flexion Response, Orienting Response
  • Orienting Response, Startle Response, Flexion Response
  • None of these

14. Which are correct characteristics of a and b processes?

  • All of the above
  • A-process correlates with the presence of emotional events
  • B-process is slow to increase and slow to decrease

  • natural evolution
  • a reflex arc

19. We are able to respond much quickly to touching something hot because of the;

  • Startle response

20. When a novel stimulus is introduced sometimes we find recovery of a response that had been extinct. This is...

  • Disinhibiton
  • Stimulus generalisation
  • Spontaenous recovery
  • External inhibition
