Five questions from the pack.
Q1In Aplysia, repeated gentle touches to the siphon reduce the gill-withdrawal reflex. The best cellular explanation is
A. Short-term habituation reflects presynaptic depression, with less transmitter released by the sensory neuron. Serotonin from a facilitating interneuron underlies sensitization, motor receptors remain responsive, and CREB-dependent growth underlies long-term sensitization.
Q2A patient's fear of dogs is extinguished in therapy but returns when the patient visits the original place of the dog bite. This is
A. The CR returned when the CS was encountered in the acquisition context after extinction elsewhere, which is renewal. Reinstatement needs an unsignaled UCS, generalization needs a similar stimulus, and negative reinforcement is an operant concept.
Q3A parent says, "Finish your homework, then you may play video games." This applies
D. A more probable activity (games) is used to reinforce a less probable one (homework). The sleeper effect concerns persuasion, the matching law concerns choice among schedules, and no stimulus pairing is described.
Q4To teach a pigeon to peck a disk that it never pecks spontaneously, a trainer should first reinforce
D. Shaping rewards successive approximations of the target. Waiting for a full peck gives nothing to reinforce, punishment would not build the response, and extinction removes reinforcement.
Q5A student watches a demonstration of a surgical knot but cannot repeat it later because the steps are not remembered. Which of Bandura's processes failed?
B. The learner noticed the demonstration but did not store the steps, so retention failed. Attention was adequate, motivation concerns incentive to perform, and reproduction concerns physical ability, which was not the problem described.
Those are real questions from the pack, word for word.
