5 Written Questions

1. decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation. As infants gain familiarity with repeated exposure to a visual stimulus, their interest wanes and they look away sooner
2. a tendency for the CR to be elicited by neutral stimuli that are like, but not identical to , the CS: in other words , the response gene
3. reinforcing a response only part of the time; results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction than does continuous reinforcement
4. the process by which consequences lead to an increase in the likelihood that the response will occur again
5. Reinforcement that occurs when a response is strengthened because it is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus.

2. extrinsic motivation
3. learning
4. spontaneous recovery (in operant conditioning)
5. intrinsic motivation

1. a in operant condiditon, a schedule of reinforcemetnt that reinforces a response only after an unpredictable amount of time
2. b a desire to perform a behavior for its own sake and to be effective
3. c a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience.
4. d a desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishment
5. e te process by which an old response reappears if ther isa period of time after extinction

5 True/False Questions

1. Behavior modification → a desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishment

   True        False

2. phobia → an operant conditioning procedure in whcih reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of a desired goal

   True        False

3. unconditioned stimulus → in classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

   True        False

4. unconditioned response → in classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

   True        False

5. stimulus discrimination → The ability to distinguish among stimuli similar to the CS and to respond only to the actual CS , in other words the response generlizes to similar stimuli (In Albert all fur coats all teddybears etc)

   True        False
