Two Approaches in Psychology questions with explanations
Open a question, choose an answer in your head, then open the explanation.
Q1 Classical conditioning and conditioned response
In a conditioning study, a tone is repeatedly paired with food. Later, the tone alone makes a dog salivate. Which statement best describes the learned response?
- The tone remains a neutral stimulus and salivation is unlearned.
- The tone becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response.
- Food becomes the conditioned response.
- Salivation is operant behaviour reinforced by removing food.
Q2 Extinction in classical conditioning
After a tone has become a conditioned stimulus, it is repeatedly presented without food. The dog’s salivation to the tone gradually weakens. What is this process?
- Spontaneous recovery
- Stimulus generalisation
- Extinction
- Positive reinforcement
