The Field--$100 This theory assumes different species are related through a common evolutionary history. answer

The Field--$200 This philosophical school of thought led learning researchers to investigate how we acquire knowledge through environmental experience. answer

The Field--$300 This researcher used associationism to help explain why his lab animals began to form connections between previously unrelated concepts or events. answer

The Field--$400 In general, ______ refers to acquiring knowledge or behavior and ______ refers to retaining and recalling that knowledge. answer

The Field--$500 This term is often used to describe the difference between actual changes in behavior and potential changes in behavior, given the appropriate setting. answer

CC Basics--$100 When conditioning trials begin, this produces no response (i.e., it’s neutral). answer

CC Basics--$200 The reflexive or automatic action elicited by some naturally occurring stimulus is called __________. answer

CC Basics--$300 CC training trials pair these two components, with hopes of conditioning a response. answer

CC Basics--$400 The components and correct temporal sequence of a cc test trial if conditioning has indeed occurred. answer

CC Basics--$500 The type of CC situation in which there is a positive correlation between CS and US and the CS comes to elicit a response that is very similar to the response elicited by the US. answer

Important Variables--$100 The name of the CS-US arrangement that involves total CS-US contiguity, but results in very little, if any, conditioning. answer

Important Variables--$200 After a substantial number of CS- US pairings have been presented, increases in conditioned responding will level off or reach _______. answer

Important Variables--$300 CS-US intervals of less than _____ and greater than ____ produce very little, if any, responding. answer

Important Variables--$400 With regard to CS and US intensity, strength is more important for an effective ____ and salience is more important for an effective ___. answer

Important Variables--$500 Garcia & Koelling (1966) demonstrated that ____ is a relevant CS for shock and ___ is a relevant CS for nausea. answer

Theories--$100 This theory stresses that a close temporal relationship between CS and US is important for conditioning to occur. answer

Theories--$200 This particular type of learning/conditioning occurs, even when the assumptions of contiguity are not met. answer

Theories--$300 This theory stresses that the US must be surprising or unexpected in order for conditioning to occur. answer

Theories--$400 This phenomenon was demonstrated by Kamin (1969) and causes problems for both contiguity and contingency theory. answer

Theories--$500 The two primary views on what is learned during classical conditioning? answer

Grab Bag--$100 The general name for a graph which relates the number of training trials to the probability of a CR occurring on a test trial. answer

Grab Bag--$200 Conditioning situation in which two or more CSs occur together before the US, with the possibility of each being conditioned to varying degrees. answer

Grab Bag--$300 In the CER paradigm, conditioning is measured by calculating this. answer

Grab Bag--$400 Name in order the CS and US in the Watson & Rayner (1920) study. answer
