Pavlov initially set out to study his dogs' ___________.

Birds, who find their food by sight, will avoid any object or insect that simply looks like the one that made them sick. This is a result of:

_________ is the disappearance or weakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimulus (in classical conditioning) or the removal of a reinforcer (in operant conditioning).

The cognitive perspective of classical conditioning involves:

In his classical conditioning experiment, Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate when they:

Changes such as an increase in height or the size of the brain are called:

_____ is learning new behavior by watching a model perform that behavior.

Which of the following is one of Bandura's elements of observational learning?

Which psychologist is best known for working with children and a Bobo doll to study whether aggressive behavior is learned by watching others be aggressive?

In a(n) ________, the occurrence of reinforcement is more predictable and therefore the individual being reinforced is more likely to adjust his response to the timing of the reinforcement.

Small steps in behavior that are reinforced, one after the other, to create a particular goal behavior are known as:

It is believed that animals revert eventually to instinctual behaviors when the new tasks they are learning have a strong association with:

What are the two kinds of behavior that all organisms are capable of?

The law of effect states if an action is followed by a pleasurable consequence, the action is likely to:

Further studies that followed Köhler's work with chimpanzees:

In Seligman's study on dogs, the dogs that were not conditioned to fear the tone:

In his study of rats in mazes, Tolman concluded that the rats in the group that did not receive reinforcement for solving the maze had:

Learning that remains hidden until its application becomes useful is called:

In Köhler's experiment, Sultan the chimp first used just one stick that was lying in his cage to rake the banana into the cage, and then he learned to fit two sticks together to reach a banana placed farther away. This was an example of:

Whenever Vernon comes home too late on a Saturday night, his parents refuse to give him his weekly allowance. Vernon's parents are using what technique to modify his behavior?

A teacher has decided to give "caught being good" tickets to her students when they behave according to class rules. This teacher also rewards students with gold stars each time they improve their math speed. This teacher is using:

In a later modification of the classic Bobo doll experiment, the children who had seena model beat up the doll and then get rewarded showed aggression toward the doll. Another group had seen the model get punished rather than rewarded. Which of the following statements is true about these other children?

Carla was bitten by a dog when she was a toddler. She's older now, but still backs up in fear whenever a dog approaches her. This is an example of:

After having many cavities fixed as a child, Kyle now has an active dislike of the dentist's drill. His tendency to become anxious when hearing a similar-sounding noise is termed:

After a lengthy period during which the UCS was not applied, Pavlov's dogs stopped responding to the metronome. If a weaker conditioned response to the metronome occurred at some point after this, it would be a demonstration of:

This scientist conducted research to establish the theory known as cognitive perspective.

The response that is given to the conditioned stimulus is not usually quite as strong as the original unconditioned response, ______________.

The learning/performance distinction is a kind of:

The four elements of observational learning are attention, memory, ______, and ______.

Which of the following individuals believed that cognition was an important part of behavior?

One of B. F. Skinner's famous experiments involved:

The Brelands determined that most Skinnerian behaviorists made the false assumption that:

A behavior is more resistant to extinction if it is:

A recent study suggests a link between spanking and:

If your professor gives pop quizzes, this is an example of:

The term "extinction" may be misleading because:

Pavlov's dogs exhibited stimulus discrimination when they:

A typical use of applied behavior analysis is:
