    1. AThey were the same as the unconditioned responses
    2. BThey were the opposite to the unconditioned responses
    3. CThey were innate responses.
    4. DThey were similar to the unconditioned responses, but were missing certain features
    5. EThey were unconditioned responses.
  2. 2Which of the following is an accurate statement regarding shaping by successive approximations?
    1. AShaping can be used to train any possible behaviour.
    2. BYou make the criteria for reinforcement more stringent as the training proceeds.
    3. CHolding off reinforcement keeps them keen.
    4. DShaping occurs more easily with primary reinforcers.
    5. EPunishment is an effective way to shape a behaviour.
  3. 3A 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?
    1. ADiscrimination learning
    2. BGeneralisation
    3. CSecondary conditioning
    4. DInstrumental avoidance learning
  4. 4Jake 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?
    1. AIt is an avoidance response
    2. BIt is a socially learned response
    3. CIt is a secondarily conditioned response
    4. DIt is an omission response
    5. EIt is a generalised response
  5. 5Which of the following phenomenon is ONLY present in instrumental conditioning and not in classical conditioning?
    1. AThe learned response can be extinguished.
    2. BThe extinguished response can spontaneously recover after a period of time has elapsed.
    3. CThe learned response can generalise.
    4. DThe response comes after something happens or after something fails to happen.
    5. EThe response causes something to happen or prevents something from happening.
  6. 6What is an effective way to reduce an avoidance behaviour?
    1. AExposure therapy (extinction of the discriminative stimulus
    2. BFlooding (preventing the response)
    3. CExtinction of the avoidance response
    4. DThinking of kittens. But only really cute ones.
    5. EA and B
  7. 7A person sees an "open" sign on a shop door and walks into the store to buy something. The sign on the door controls the person's shopping behaviour by acting as a:
    1. AConditioned stimulus
    2. BUnconditioned stimulus
    3. CDiscriminative stimulus
    4. DConditioned reinforcer
    5. EPositive reinforcer
  8. 8Two 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?
    1. ANegative reinforcement (avoidance learning) and punishment respectively
    2. BNegative reinforcement (avoidance learning) and negative punishment (omission training) respectively
    3. CPunishment and negative punishment (omission training) respectively
    4. DNegative punishment (omission training) and negative reinforcement (avoidance learning) respectively
    5. ENegative punishment (omission training) and punishment respectively
  9. 9Can classical and instrumental conditioning interact?
    1. AYes, an example would be extinction.
    2. BYes, an example would be secondary or conditioned reinforcers.
    3. CYes, but it causes a massive explosion. Clever people are trying to see if they can run cars with this.
    4. DYes, but it has only been observed in Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer in rats.
    5. ENo, because they are different types of learning.
  10. 10Cook 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?
    1. AThe subjects were able to learn to fear specific types of stimuli
    2. BThe subjects were able to learn to fear specific types of stimuli.
    3. CThe subjects had an innate predisposition to learn to fear specific types of stimuli.
    4. DThe subjects were born with fears of specific types of stimuli.
    5. EA, B and C.
    6. FA, B but not C.
