- CThe relationship between time and memory
- DThe interest in ones own conscious experience
5The bulk of forgetting is done

- CImitation
- DBoth place and response learning
7Double dissociation refers to
- AMultiple senses working together to create an accurate sense of the world
- BA type of pattern that provides strong evidence for independent neurofunctioning processes
- CDissociation of memory constructs due to brain damage resulting in aphasia
- DNone of the above
8Procedural memory is associated with
- AThe amygdala
- BThe hippocampus
- CThe hypothalamus
- DThe striatum cerebellum
9Long term potentiation refers to
- AA neuron changing the structure of the brain
- Bchanges within a synapse
- CThe ability of the brain to change over a long period of time
- DThe continuation of white matter growth throughout childhood and adolescence
10Neuro genesis refers to
- AThe adding of temporal information to episodic memory
- BThe production of new brain cells
- CThe rate of neural survival
- DNeural pruning in the first few years of life
11Habituation refers to
- AThe increased response to a stimulus
- BPrior exposure to a stimulus facilitating later learning about that stimulus
- CNon-associative learning
- DDecreased response to a stimulus
12Dishabituation refers to
- AIncreased response to a stimulus
- BNovel stimulus resetting the habituation response
- CResponse to a stimulus reducing through repeated exposure
- DMental representation based on memories of the past
13The dual process theory refers to
- AMental representation based on memories of the past
- BHabituation and sensitisation are independent and opposing processes
- CPrior learning to a stimulus can facilitate later learning about that stimulus
- DWith increased exposure comes familiarity which increases preference to the stimulus
14In classical conditioning the spontaneous recovery phase refers to
- AThe US being repeatedly paired with the CS
- BWhen the CS is repeatedly presented without the US, CR begins to decrease
- CLearning a new association
- DResponse previously extinguished reappears during presentation of the CS
15Latent inhibition refers to
- AThe CR also occurring in the presence of another stimulus similar to the CS
- BBeing able to tell apart different stimulus
- CPresentation of the CS by its self before pairing it with the US inhibits conditioning
- DFirst order CS can be paired with another CS to produce CR
16An example of higher order conditioning is
- AFood
- BAttention
- Csocial reinforcement
- DMoney
17The Rescorla-Wagner model claims learning only occurs when
- ASomething unexpected or surprising occurs
- Bwhen a behaviour is rewarded or punished
- CWhen behaviour and stimuli are presented close enough to each other in time
- DWhen the CS makes the subject think of the US
18The premack principle refers to
- AContinuous reinforcement
- BPreferred behaviour can reinforce a less preferred behaviour
- CThe reinforcement of successive approximations gradually result in desired behaviour
- DLearning is unlikely to take place at all if the reward is delayed by more than a few seconds
19A Variable ratio response is
- AEvery response being reinforced
- BReinforcement of next response after T time on average
- CReinforcement after X amount of responses on average
- DReinforcement that is contingent on time
20The sequential hypothesis refers to
- AHow different are the reinforcement and non reinforcement conditions?
- BPartial reinforcement results in some reward and some frustration, resulting in becoming better at dealing with frustrations
- CPartial reinforcement resulting in reward associated with previous behaviour where no reward was given and results in no reward this time meaning possible reward next time.
- DNone of the above
21The following statement is not true about the role of awareness in learning
- AClassical can occur without awareness
- BOperant conditioning can not occur without awareness in humans
- CMost people are aware of reinforcement
- DIn operant conditioning reinforcement and awareness beings about the most behavioural change
