1. Evidence to support the Pearce-Hall theory comes from Kaye and Pearce (1984) who found:

  • Orienting responses are maintained when a CS is presented alone
  • Orienting responses are maintained when a CS is reinforced
  • Partial reinforcement maintains an orienting response
  • Extinction does not change the orienting response

2. How does the Pearce-Hall model explain latent inhibition?

  • On the first conditioning trial, the US is not surprising, and so the error term is zero, meaning there will be no increase in the strength of the association.
  • On the first conditioning trial, the CS has low associability and so there is less learning.
  • On the first conditioning trial, the CS is not surprising, and so there is less learning.
  • On the first conditioning trial, the US is not surprising, and so there is less learning.

3. Mackintosh (1972) theory can be best described as:

  • Stimuli which are followed by unsurprising events are paid most attention
  • Stimuli which are followed by surprising events are paid most attention
  • Stimuli which are good predictors of outcomes are paid most attention
  • Stimuli which are surprising are paid most attention

4. What was found in a study by Balog et al (2013) examining fear conditioning and schizotypy?

  • High unusual experiences was associated with lower responsiveness to the CS+ and more responsiveness to the CS-
  • High unusual experiences was associated with more responsiveness to the CS+ and less responsiveness to the CS-
  • High unusual experiences was associated with more responsiveness to both CS+ and CS-
  • High unusual experiences was associated with less responsiveness to both CS+ and CS-

5. Which of the following is a good description of Latent Inhibition.

  • The associative strength to stimulus X in an A+/AX- experiment
  • The reduction in responding following non-reinforced exposure to a CS following appetitive conditioning
  • The retardation of learning about a CS caused by exposure to that CS
  • The facilitation of learning about a CS caused by exposure to that CS
