Classical Conditioning
Multiple Choice
In classical conditioning, what does the term 'acquisition' refer to?
A
The tendency for a conditioned response to occur in response to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.
B
The reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a rest period.
C
The process of removing a conditioned response by repeatedly presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
D
The initial stage when a neutral stimulus begins to elicit a conditioned response after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that classical conditioning involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response.
Recognize that 'acquisition' is a specific phase in this learning process.
Identify that during acquisition, the neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
Note that through these pairings, the neutral stimulus starts to elicit the conditioned response on its own.
Conclude that acquisition refers to this initial stage where the conditioned response is first established.
