Summary Introduction
Introduction: Operant conditioning or instrumental conditioning is a learning process by which the intensity of a behavior is controlled by reward or punishment. The stimulus that results in reward or punishment controls the exhibition or inhibition of the behavior. Operant behavior is voluntary and involves trial and error learning. The animal first learns to associate one of its behaviors with either reward or punishment and then tends to repeat or avoid that behavior.

- Which of the following statements is/are true? a. As a person grows older, his near point becomes lower making them difficult to focus on near objects.b. Age and near point are proportional thus, making older individuals difficult to focus on near objects.c. Younger individuals have higher near points making them focus on near objects easily.d. As a person’s age increase, his near point increases making them easier to focus on near objects.e. The younger an individual is, the lower is his near point making him easier to focus on near objectsarrow_forwardIn the example below, the author uses both ideas and a quotation from a published work. Review the sample to determine if the author correctly cited their source and select the answer that best represents your choice. According to one author, “Adult learners have different learning styles that must be assessed prior to initiating any educational session” (Russel, 2006, p.349). One theory of learning styles proposed by Russell is that they relate to using senses in learning and are developed during one’s childhood. The most commonly employed learning styles is visual, followed by auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners are those who interpret information through graphic or pictorial representation. Auditory learners are those who have a preference for hearing versus reading instructions. Kinesthetic learners are those who want to interact or make something happen in order to learn. a. The citation properly references source material used throughout the paragraph and this is not…arrow_forwardA researcher designed a study to test whether exposure to conflict influences infants’ ability to discriminate emotional expressions. They randomly assigned 30 7-month-old infants to witness an argument between two puppets and 30 additional 7-month-olds to witness the same puppets playing a game. They then used a preferential looking paradigm to test whether infants could discriminate between fearful and angry faces. They found that infants who had witnessed the argument spent more time looking at angry compared to fearful faces. Infants who witnessed play looked at both faces for the same amount of time. This research design is ____________. The experimenters _________ infer that exposure to conflict influenced emotion discrimination. Select one: a. Correlational; can b. Correlational; cannot c. Experimental; can d. Experimental; cannotarrow_forward
- The prefrontal cortex receives extensive input from the amygdala, and it uses information about emotion to make the final determination about whether to engage in a specific behavior. Bechara and his colleagues conducted a study on decision-making that compared healthy individuals to patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex. Which of the following statements about this research is FALSE? A) Over time, patients with prefrontal injuries did not produce anticipatory reactions (sweating) before making a "risky" decision. B) At first, both groups of individuals chose the "risky" option more often. C) Both the healthy individuals and the patients eventually switched to the "safer" option once they figured out how the game worked. D) Over time, healthy individuals began to produce a strong anticipatory reaction (sweating) before making a "risky" decision.arrow_forwardIn a controlled experiment , seagull chicks to peck at a red stick over a cardboard model of an adult seagull's beak a. reflexs b. super stimulus c. chainning d. inhibitionarrow_forwardBefore we conclude that mirror neurons help people imitate, which of the following should research demonstrate?A. Mirror neurons respond to both seeing and hearing someone else’s movement.B. Mirror neurons occur in the same brain areas of humans as in monkeys.C.

Learning depends on changes at synapses using all types of neurotransmitters. b. Electrical stimulation of the brain can produce either reward or punishment, depending on the intensity of stimulation. c. EEG studies show activation throughout the brain during an experiment on learning. d. Impairment of learning depended on the amount of cortical damage rather than the location.arrow_forwardWhy did Thompson conclude that eyeblink conditioning depends on the lateral interpositus nucleus, instead of the red nucleus?A. Inactivating the red nucleus failed to suppress responses.B. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, and after the rabbit recovered, it had to learn the same as a rabbit that had never been trained.C. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses to some stimuli but not others.D. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, but did not prevent learning.arrow_forward
