Explanation

Question 2 of 7

1

Very little conditioning

Conditioning depends on size of the trace interval

No conditioning occurs

The most effective conditioning

    Simultaneous conditioning:
    Trace conditioning:
    Backward conditioning:
    Delay conditioning:
    Excitatory:
    Inhibitory:

Explanation

Question 3 of 7

1

What kinds of contingency can we have?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Positive

  • Negative

  • None

  • Discriminative

  • Disinhibitory

Explanation

Question 4 of 7

1

Which of the following is NOT a rule from the Rescorla-Wagner model?

Select one of the following:

  • The larger the discrepancy between the strength of the expectation and
    the strength of the US, the greater the conditioning that occurs (either
    excitatory or inhibitory).

  • More salient CSs will condition faster.

  • If 2 or more CSs are presented together the subjects expectation will be equal to their total strength.

  • Latent inhibition occurs because of pre-training of the zero expectations.

Explanation

Question 5 of 7

1

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what would negate the blocking effect?

Select one of the following:

  • An increased US during compound pairing.

  • Shorter contiguities.

  • Better contingency rates.

  • Introducing a new context.

Explanation

Question 6 of 7

1

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what effect occurs when 2 CSs conditioned separately and presented together but with no increase in the level of US?

Select one of the following:

  • Unblocking

  • Latent inhibition

  • Over-expectation

  • Over-excitement

Explanation

Question 7 of 7

1

In what ways do the comparator theories differ from the Rescorla-Wagner model?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Comparator models assume that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.

  • Comparator theories assume that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.

  • The Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.

  • The Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.

  • One has maths and the other doesn't
