Quiz 6: A Learning

An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that elicits a response automatically or reflexively.

Extinction is the result of forgetting a previously learned association.

An example of discrimination would be developing a conditioned taste aversion to spearmint gum and then noticing that you had also developed a taste aversion to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>peppermint</i> gum.

Like other forms of classical conditioning,conditioned taste aversion requires multiple pairings of stimuli.

Operant conditioning occurs when a stimulus similar to one that has already been conditioned elicits the same conditioned response.

Classical conditioning involves reflexive behaviours whereas operant conditioning involves voluntary behaviours.

To encourage Gwyneth to clean her room more often,her mother tells her that for each day her room remains dirty,she will lose a day of television privileges.This is an example of positive punishment.

Having a gold star placed on one's spelling quiz would be a secondary reinforcer.

In order for latent learning to occur,there must be reinforcement.

The process of observational learning would explain how 3-year-old Ryan knows how to lather up his own face after watching his dad shave earlier that day.
