Blair 2e, Web Quizzes Module 20 1. A type of learning in which the subject associates a particular behavior with its consequence is called: a. classical conditioning. b. extinction. c. operant conditioning. d. discrimination. 2. At an amusement park, a duck will turn on a lamp and play a piano every time a coin is put into a slot. He then receives a piece of corn for performing his tricks. The duck is demonstrating: a. extreme musical talent. b. classical conditioning. c. imitation. d. operant conditioning. 3. Eileen, a second grade teacher, is always providing favorable consequences for her students’s “good” behaviors and unfavorable consequences for “bad” behaviors. Eileen is working off the principle of: a. spontaneous recovery. b. extinction. c. generalization. d. the law of effect. 4. Any consequence of a behavior that decreases the frequency of that behavior is a: a. punishment. b. reinforcement. c. operant. d. stimulus. 5. At the end of football practice, the team always has to run 10 laps around the field, which everyone hates. If a player makes a good play the coach tells the player they can run one less lap. At the end of practice some players have to run the full 10 laps while others who performed well run less. In this example, the removal of running a lap is considered a: a. punishment. b. positive reinforcement. c. negative reinforcement. d. extinction stimulus. 6. The best example of a primary reinforcement is: a. money to someone poor. b. water to someone thirsty. c. coupons for a free pass into a movie. d. tickets from a game which are eventually turned in for a prize. 7. The best example of a secondary reinforcement is: a. food. b. time. c. conditioned response. d. money. 8. What problems may results in using punishment as a learning tool? a. punishment does not end the desire to perform the behavior. b. punishment may lead to fear and anxiety. c. punishment leads to a temporary suppression of the behavior. d. All of the above are problems with using punishment. 9. In trying to train a dog to run a complex maze, you break down the maze into a series of smaller parts. You start with the first part and then slowly add a new part. This process is called: a. spontaneous recovery. b. shaping. c. extinction. d. generalization. 10. A learning experiment is set up in the following manner: A rat is in the Skinner Box, and every time the light goes on and the rat presses down on the bar it gets reinforced with food. If the light is off, pressing down on the bar causes no response. This is an example of: a. discrimination. b. generalization. c. extinction. d. latent learning. 11. Ren has found that every time she hits the vending machine as she drops in her money, not only does she get the candy she wants, but her money comes back out. This is what type of reinforcement schedule? a. fixed interval b. variable interval c. variable ratio d. continuous 12. The occasional small reward for hitting a jackpot keeps the gambler hopeful of hitting another larger jackpot. This is what type of reinforcement schedule? a. fixed interval b. variable interval c. fixed ratio d. variable ratio 13. A pop quiz is an example of which type of reinforcement schedule? a. fixed interval b. variable interval c. fixed ratio d. variable ratio 14. Learning without the presence of an apparent incentive or reinforcement is known as: a. operant conditioning. b. cognitive map. c. latent learning. d. classical conditioning. 15. Kelly has loved to read since the first grade and was a constant reader throughout first and second grade. In the third grade, Kelly’s teacher gave students candy bars for each hour they read in class. Kelly’s fourth-grade teacher didn’t have the same reward system as Kelly’s third-grade teacher, so Kelly stopped reading. This is an example of: a. negative reinforcement. b. overjustification effect. c. latent learning. d. spontaneous recovery.
