• Learning

2
1 ? This type of learning uses consequences to
modify behavior.

• classical conditioning
• operant conditioning
• observational learning
• none of the above

3
2 ? Sarah decided to study an extra hour for her
next B104 test, and she received an entire letter
grade higher than her previous tests. This
illustrates which of the following concepts.

• extinction
• law of effect
• modeling
• classical conditioning

3 ? Joan has realized that picking up her
10-month-old son every time he cries at night
encourages this behavior. Using operant
conditioning, how can Joan increase the chances
her son will sleep through the night?

• continue to pick him up each time he cries
• let him cry himself to sleep
• pick him up every fourth time he cries
• all of the above

5
4 ? An example of a fixed-interval schedule of
reinforcement would be _____.

• hitting a home run every five times at bat
• getting three out of four questions right on an
  exam
• taking a study break every three hours
• getting a tune-up for your car about every two
  years

5 ? Andy was stung by a wasp and, for awhile, he
was afraid of any flying insect. After he
realized that house flies could not hurt him, he
was no longer afraid of all flying insects,
although he was still fearful of wasps. The fact
that he is still afraid of wasps is an example of
_____.

• generalization
• extinction
• discrimination
• spontaneous recovery

7
6 ? _____ is the gradual weakening and
disappearance of a conditioned response.

• Acquisition
• Extinction
• Generalization
• Discrimination

8
7 ? Pavlov is associated with _____.

• observational learning
• classical conditioning
• operant conditioning
• both a and b

9
8 ? Which of the following is necessary for
acquisition to occur in classical conditioning?

• one person must model the behavior for another
• the CS and the UCS must be paired repeatedly
• the UCS must be repeatedly presented before the
  CS
• the CR must be reinforced

10
9 ? A conditioned response is _____.

• an unlearned response to an unconditioned
  stimulus
• an unlearned response to a conditioned stimulus
• a learned response to an unconditioned stimulus
• a learned response to a conditioned stimulus

11
10 ? Which of the following is an example of
punishment by withdrawal?

• criticizing an employee for not doing her job
  well
• rewarding an employee for a job well done
• telling an employee that if she does a job well,
  she does not have to work extra hours
• not allowing an employee to go to lunch until she
  finishes her work
