Resource summary

Question 1

Question
[blank_start]Contingency[blank_end] is how predictive the CS is of the US. [blank_start]Contiguity[blank_end] is the relationship of a CS and US in time and space.
Answer
  • Contingency
  • Contiguity
  • Continuation

Question 2

Question
[blank_start]Simultaneous conditioning:[blank_end] Very little conditioning [blank_start]Trace conditioning:[blank_end] Conditioning depends on size of the trace interval [blank_start]Backward conditioning:[blank_end] No conditioning occurs [blank_start]Delay conditioning:[blank_end] The most effective conditioning
Answer
  • Simultaneous conditioning:
  • Trace conditioning:
  • Backward conditioning:
  • Delay conditioning:
  • Excitatory:
  • Inhibitory:

Question 3

Question
What kinds of contingency can we have?
Answer
  • Positive
  • Negative
  • None
  • Discriminative
  • Disinhibitory

Question 4

Question
Which of the following is NOT a rule from the Rescorla-Wagner model?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 5

Question
According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what would negate the blocking effect?
Answer
  • An increased US during compound pairing.
  • Shorter contiguities.
  • Better contingency rates.
  • Introducing a new context.

Question 6

Question
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?
Answer
  • Unblocking
  • Latent inhibition
  • Over-expectation
  • Over-excitement

Question 7

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