On This Page
This set of Learning and Behaviour Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Learning And Behaviour Set 4
Q1 | Environmental stimuli can acquire the ability to produce an internal drive state. Hull called these
- environmental drives
- acquired drives
- conditioned drives
- unconditioned drives
Q2 | Habit strength increases based on
- incentive induction
- drive reduction
- inhibition induction
- behavioral induction
Q3 | When a response continues to fail to produce drive reduction, it is permanently suppressed via
- reactive inhibition
- latent inhibition
- conditioned inhibition
- higher order inhibition
Q4 | Crespi's findings regarding the effect of reward magnitude on running speed forced Hull to proposethat
- reward magnitude directly influences motivation
- reward magnitude has no effect on motivation
- shifts in reward result in forgetting
- learning is reduced with large reward
Q5 | According to Amsel, the extinction of an instrumental response is due to
- anger
- frustration
- repression
- anxiety
Q6 | In Mowrer's two-factor theory of avoidance learning, the two factors are
- vicarious learning and classical conditioning
- instrumental conditioning and operant conditioning
- classical conditioning and pavlovian conditioning
- classical conditioning and instrumental (or operant) conditioning
Q7 | Guthrie believed that all learning is
- s-r associations reinforced by drive reduction
- s-r associations based on contiguity
- s-s associations based on reinforcement
- s-s associations based on contiguity
Q8 | Which traditional theorist believed that behavior involves purpose, goals, and expectations?
- tolman
- hull
- thorndike
- skinner
Q9 | Spence's anticipatory goal concept is comparable to Tolman's
- cathexis
- cognitive map
- equivalence belief principle
- law of effect
Q10 | Which traditional learning theorist believed that the use of hypothetical constructs does notcontribute to our understanding of behavior?
- hull
- skinner
- tolman
- rotter
Q11 | Guthrie rejected Thorndike's
- law of exercise
- law of readiness
- law of equivalence
- law of effect
Q12 | According to Tolman, reward is not required for learning but is required for
- extinction
- performance
- memory
- direction
Q13 | Instrumental aversive conditioning involves
- escape training
- punishment training
- avoidance training
- all of the above
Q14 | Once exposed to an aversive situation, learning a response that removes the aversive situationinvolves
- avoidance learning
- escape learning
- stimulus discrimination
- response generalization
Q15 | According to Skinner, a reinforcer is any event that
- increases a behavior
- decreases a behavior
- makes a person happy
- is satisfying
Q16 | Skinner defines an operant behavior as that which is
- elicited by environmental stimuli
- a result of s-r associations
- emitted by the organism
- unlearned
Q17 | Whenever Kendra's dog whines at the door to go out she says "good dog" and pets the dog. Theword "good" becomes a secondary reinforcer through the process of
- classical conditioning
- operant conditioning
- instrumental conditioning
- vicarious conditioning
Q18 | To teach a complex behavior, one should use
- shaping
- classical conditioning
- punishment
- contingency management
Q19 | Kohler's research with Sultan supports which theoretical view of learning?
- insight learning
- latent learning
- place learning
- modeling
