Ella's cat runs to the back door when the

- Ella's cat is demonstrating an example of
.
A. stimulus discrimination
B. stimulus generalisation
C. spontaneous recovery
D. extinction

A researcher conditions a dog to salivate at
the sound of a bell. This is then followed by
food. After some time the sound alone
(that is, without food) no longer leads to
salivation.
This is referred to as…
A. spontaneous recovery
B. extinction
C. Acquisition
D. stimulus generalisation

Neil was bitten by a spider when he was
eight years old. He then developed a
phobia about spiders. He is now sixteen
and runs away every time he sees a spider,
or a picture of one. He avoids any films
about insects and going near a wildlife
area.
This behaviour can be explained by…
A. spontaneous recovery
B. extinction
C. stimulus discrimination
D. stimulus generalisation

The light switch in Lauren's bedroom is
faulty so that every time she touches the
switch she receives a mild electric shock.

Lauren associates light switches with a
startle response.

stimulus is...
A. the light switch
B. Lauren's bedroom
C. the electric current
D. the startle response

One-trial learning, particularly in the
context of taste aversion, is often argued
to differ from classical conditioning
because
A. in classical conditioning the
conditioned response often takes a
long time to appear, whereas in onetrial taste aversion, the conditioned
response always occurs immediately
B. stimulus generalisation is less likely
to occur with one-trial taste learned
responses than classically conditioned
responses
C. one-trial learned responses are
acquired more slowly than classically
conditioned learned responses
D. one-trial learned responses are
generally extinguished more quickly
than classically conditioned responses

animals

reinforcement

In trying to defend the ethics of Watson and
Rayner's (1920) 'Little Albert' experiment, it is

development of phobias from this experiment
clearly outweighed the negative impact on Little
Albert.
This argument is based on the ethical principle
of...
A. Respect
B. beneficence
C. integrity
D. justice
