Question 1
Question
Conditioned stimulus: [blank_start]bell, light[blank_end]
Unconditioned stimulus: [blank_start]food, shock[blank_end]
Conditioned response: [blank_start]has to be learned[blank_end]
Unconditioned response: [blank_start]is innate[blank_end]
Answer
-
bell, light
-
food, shock
-
has to be learned
-
is innate
Question 2
Question
The probability of occurence of a conditioned response decreases if the CS is repeatedly presented without the US.
This is called [blank_start]extinction[blank_end].
Question 3
Answer
-
Classical conditioning depends only on the temporal sequence of a CS followed by an US. The strength of the connection is determined by the number of pairings of CS and US.
-
Classical conditioning depends on more factors than just the sequence of CS and US. Animals can distinguish events that reliably occur together from those that are only randomly associated.
Question 4
Question
Predictive relationship between two stimuli: [blank_start]classical[blank_end] conditioning
Predictive relationship between action and outcome: [blank_start]operant[blank_end] conditioning
Question 5
Question
Timing is crucial in BOTH classical and operant conditioning.
Question 6
Question
The term '[blank_start]blocking[blank_end]' describes the phenomenon that an association between two stimuli, a [blank_start]conditioned[blank_end] stimulus (CS2) and an [blank_start]unconditioned[blank_end] stimulus (US) is impaired if, during the conditioning process, the CS2 is presented together with a second CS1 that has already been associated with the unconditioned stimulus.
Answer
-
blocking
-
conditioned
-
unconditioned
Question 7
Question
The law of [blank_start]effect[blank_end]: Responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become [blank_start]more[blank_end] likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce a discomforting effect become [blank_start]less[blank_end] likely to occur again in that situation.
Question 8
Question
Dopamine pathways:
Dopamine produced in the substantia nigra compacta is released in the [blank_start]dorsal striatum[blank_end].
Dopamine produced in the [blank_start]ventral tegmental area (VTA)[blank_end] is released in the [blank_start]nucleus accumbens (ventral striatum)[blank_end] and the [blank_start]frontal cortex[blank_end].
Question 9
Question
The activity of dopaminergic cells
Question 10
Question
[blank_start]Dopaminergic[blank_end] neurons between the substantia nigra pars [blank_start]compacta[blank_end] and the striatum can influence the plasticity of neurons between the striatum and the [blank_start]cortex[blank_end].
Question 11
Question
After effects of visuomotor adaptation were
Answer
-
only observed when the arm was actively moved.
-
in both cases, whether the arm was actively or passively moved.
Question 12
Question
The relationship between motor commands and the resulting motion of the limb (forward model) can change due to
Question 13
Question
There is evidence for impaired adaptation to hitting a target with a prism after a lesion to the [blank_start]cerebellum[blank_end].
Answer
-
cerebellum
-
thalamus
-
prefrontal cortex
-
basal ganglia
Question 14
Question
What is this paradigm called?
(Three words, no hyphens)
Question 15
Question
Aftereffects of force field adaptation demonstrate that
Question 16
Question
Potential use of forward models:
Answer
-
Compensating for delays in sensorimotor control
-
Anticipating and canceling sensory effects of movement
-
Learning by predicting sensory outcomes without practicing a movement
-
Estimating a current or future state of a limb
Question 17
Question
Dopamine is released from the midbrain (VTA and SNc) to large territories in the [blank_start]cortex[blank_end] and the [blank_start]basal ganglia[blank_end].
Answer
-
cortex
-
thalamus
-
cerebellum
-
basal ganglia
-
brain stem
-
thalamus
Question 18
Question
VTA and SNc dopamine neurons are [blank_start]electrically coupled[blank_end] and fire [blank_start]synchronously[blank_end].
Answer
-
synchronously
-
asynchronously
-
electrically coupled
-
independent
Question 19
Question
The inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found to be enjoyable is called [blank_start]anhedonia[blank_end].
It can be caused by antipsychotics, e.g. dopamine receptor [blank_start]antagonists[blank_end].
