Question 6

Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
One of the earliest explanations of how [blank_start]animals[blank_end] and humans learn was proposed by [blank_start]Pavlov[blank_end] in 1927. He noticed that when a [blank_start]dog[blank_end] he was studying heard the food buckets being brought it salivated. He knew this was a [blank_start]reflex[blank_end] response but he also realised that the dogs had learnt to salivate at the sound. This encouraged him to try to make them salivate in response to another event. He set up trials over a few days and each time the dog was fed a bell was rung. Eventually the bell was rung even when no food was offered and he found the salivation amount was the same as when food was present.

Question 9
Question
Pavlov was able to find out that learning could die out (extinction)and then restarted (spontaneous recovery).
Answer
True
False
Question 10
Question
Pavlov was able to change to tone of the bell and get the same response from the dogs.
Answer
True
False
Question 11
Question
Watson and Rayner (1920) conditioned humans. The aim of this experiment was to see if fear could be conditioned into humans. Choose the method, result and conclusion from below.
Answer
Method: Albert (11 months old) had no fear of white furry objects but in the experiment every time he reached for a white rat a metal bar was struck with hammer behind him. This was done several times.
Method: Albert (11 months old) had no fear of horses but in the experiment every time he was shown one a confederate shouted loudly. This was done several times.
Results: After 7 times Albert screamed and tried to get away from the animal whenever he saw it
even though the bar was no longer being hit.
Results: After 10 times Albert screamed and sobbed and tried to hide from the animal. He even became afraid of Santa.
Conclusion: Fear can be learnt.
Conclusion: Classical conditioning does not work on humans
Question 12
Question
Choose 3 accurate evaluations of the Watson and Rayner study from the list below.
Answer
Unethical due to the harm inflicted on the child.
Unethical due to the lack of consent of the child. However the mother did consent.
This study was not done on animals and it should have been.
The sample of 1 represent young, white males and therefore could not be generalised.
Question 13
Question
What is the Garcia effect?
Answer
A one off event that produces a fear response that is very resistant to extinction
A one off event that causes a learnt response that is soon forgotten
Multiple events that causes a fear response.
Question 14
Question
In every day life [blank_start]advertising[blank_end] agencies recognise that associations with [blank_start]words[blank_end], images and [blank_start]sounds[blank_end] are particularly powerful in getting people to buy products. This is a practical [blank_start]application[blank_end].
