Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior, mental processes, emotions, and personality. It is an important subject for competitive exams such as PPSC, FPSC, NTS, OTS, KPPSC, BPSC, AJKPSC, CSS, and PMS.

The fundamental element required for learning through classical conditioning is:

A Conditioned stimuli

B Unconditioned stimuli

C Change

D Association

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Association

Consider this sequence: (1) food, (2) salivation with food (3) light with food, (4) salivation with light. This procedure for presenting stimuli and observing responses with dogs is based on Pavlov’s experiments, and represents which sequence of classical conditioning?

A Unconditioned stimulus, conditioned response, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response

B Conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response

C Unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned response

D Unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response

Which of the following is accurate in relation to the law of effect?

A The law of effect relates to Pavlov’s proposal that reward will strengthen the connection between the response that preceded it and any stimuli present when it is delivered

B In modern terminology, Thorndike’s ‘satisfiers’ and ‘annoyers’ are called enforces and punishers

C In the law of effect, a stimulus-response (S-R) association is learned

D It is generally thought that the likelihood of an animal responding in a particular way cannot be controlled by the consequence of the response

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: In the law of effect, a stimulus-response (S-R) association is learned

Not every organism will learn at the same rate as a result of:

A Contiguity and conditioning

B Habituation and contiguity

C Blocking and preparedness

D Blocking and autoshaping

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Blocking and preparedness

What type of learning do not rely on forming associations among stimuli and events?

A Perceptual learning, spatial learning and discrimination learning

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Perceptual learning, spatial learning and discrimination learning

Which of the following does NOT apply to spatial learning in the rate?

A Rates master spatial tasks much more easily than typical configural learning tasks

B Spatial learning operates according to principles identical to those that underlie classical and instrumental conditioning procedures

C Exposure top an environment can allow the animal to forma a cognitive map of the environment

D The animal is then able to negative because it knows its own position with respect to its internal representation environment

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Spatial learning operates according to principles identical to those that underlie classical and instrumental conditioning procedures

Which TWO of the following statements are true of blocking? 1: The phenomenon of blocking provides an interesting and much-studied instance of failure to learn, in spite of contiguous presentations of the CS and the US 2: In a blocking experiment, animals receive training with what is termed a compound CS (Phase 2) 3: The experimental group has first received a phase of training in which the US alone is conditioned (Phase 1) 4: The experimental groups shows no (or very little evidence of learning about the CS that is presented in Phase 1

A 1 & 2

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: 1 & 2

Which of the following statements applies to instrumental learning?

A Instrumental learning is the process by which an animal learns about the relationship between the behaviour and the consequences of that behaviour

B Instrumentally trained responses are not entirely elicited by identifiable stimuli

C Instrumental learning allows the animal to control the occurrence of environmental events

D All of the above

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: All of the above

Which of the following statements about Pavlov’s dogs is FALSE?

A Pavlov’s standard procedure, involved the following: a dog was given access to food, and each presentation was accompanied (usually slightly preceded by the occurrence of a neutral event, such as a flashing light

B After several training trials (pairings of light and food), the dog would salivate at the flash of light, before any food had appeared

C Salivation at the presentation of food is called a conditioned response

D The event that evokes the conditioned response is referred to as a conditioned stimulus

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: After several training trials (pairings of light and food), the dog would salivate at the flash of light, before any food had appeared

Learning cannot become meaningful unless an individual is not:

A Physically prepared

B Mentally prepared

C Emotionally prepared

D All of the above
