A woman had an extreme phobia to frogs (batrachophobia). One rainy day while slipping on a pair of weather-proof boots, she touched a frog that was hiding inside the boot with her foot and suffered a panic attack. Now she can't go near boots. How did this new phobia (to gum boots) arise?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Generalisation

  • Secondary conditioning

  • Instrumental avoidance learning

Jake has aichmophobia, which is a fear of needles or syringes. This phobia is becoming so severe that he cannot bring himself to visit a doctor, go to the beach, or even walk across public parklands in case he comes into contact with needles. How would you describe this aspect of Jake's behaviour?

  • It is a generalised response

Erklärung

Frage 5 von 18

1

Which of the following phenomenon is ONLY present in instrumental conditioning and not in classical conditioning?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The learned response can be extinguished.

  • The extinguished response can spontaneously recover after a period of time has elapsed.

  • The learned response can generalise.

  • The response comes after something happens or after something fails to happen.

  • The response causes something to happen or prevents something from happening.

Erklärung

What is an effective way to reduce an avoidance behaviour?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Exposure therapy (extinction of the discriminative stimulus

  • Flooding (preventing the response)

  • Extinction of the avoidance response

Wähle eine der folgenden:

Two children are at a party and get into a fight. The parent of the first child doesn't get cross, but immediately takes her child home. The second parent screams at her child. What behavioural management techniques did these two parents use?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Negative reinforcement (avoidance learning) and punishment respectively

  • Negative reinforcement (avoidance learning) and negative punishment (omission training) respectively

  • Punishment and negative punishment (omission training) respectively

  • Negative punishment (omission training) and negative reinforcement (avoidance learning) respectively

  • Negative punishment (omission training) and punishment respectively

Erklärung

Frage 9 von 18

1

Can classical and instrumental conditioning interact?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Yes, an example would be extinction.

  • Yes, an example would be secondary or conditioned reinforcers.

  • Yes, but it causes a massive explosion. Clever people are trying to see if they can run cars with this.

  • Yes, but it has only been observed in Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer in rats.

  • No, because they are different types of learning.

Erklärung

Cook et al (1986) examined the acquisition of fears in people by pairing pictures with a brief but unpleasant electric shock. The four pictures they used were: a spider; a flower; a mushroom; a snake. During a test, they were shown the same pictures and their level of stress was monitored via electrocardiogram (for heart rate). There were no differences between these images if they hadn't been followed by shock. However, if these images had been paired with a shock, fear was more potently expressed to the pictures of spiders and snakes than flowers and mushrooms. How might the results of this experiment be interpreted?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The subjects were able to learn to fear specific types of stimuli

  • The subjects were able to learn to fear specific types of stimuli.

  • The subjects had an innate predisposition to learn to fear specific types of stimuli.

  • The subjects were born with fears of specific types of stimuli.

  • A, B and C.

  • A, B but not C.

During mating season, the brolga (an Australian native bird) displays a ritual courting "dance". Apart from being renowned for its intricacy and beauty, this courting dance is an example of an FAP. Which of the following statements is therefore most likely to be FALSE?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • The courting dance can occur spontaneously (i.e. without a releasing stimulus).

  • Once started, the courting dance continues until it is completed.

  • The courting dance depends on the brolgas being in the right hormonal state.

  • Each brolga's courting dance is highly original, changing dramatically from brolga to brolga.

  • The courting dance lasts longer and involves more muscle systems than a typical reflex.

  • (i) involve few muscle systems, (ii) are short-lived, and (iii) are sensitive to the motivational state of the organism.

  • (i) involve several muscle systems, (ii) last longer, and (iii) are sensitive to the motivational state of the organism.

  • (i) involve no more than three muscle systems, (ii) last longer, and (iii) are insensitive to the motivational state of the organism.

  • (i) involve few muscle systems, (ii) last longer, and (iii) are insensitive to the motivational state of the organism.

In an experiment, 4-month old children are played songs that are consonant (harmonic) or dissonant (inharmonic). The babies spent more time fixating on a speaker when the consonant music was played than when the dissonant music was played. What does this experiment tell us?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Babies have an innate bias to prefer musical instead of non-musical sound.

  • The babies preferred consonant music because they became familiar with it from listening to the music their parents play (which is predominantly consonant music).

  • Babies have an innate predisposition to acquire a love of harmonic melodies.

  • The babies were more likely to learn to play a musical instrument when they got older.

  • Options A, B and C are all possible.
