Question

please answer why the question is false when we say that behaviorists focus on the ABCs of learning, we mean they focus on what comes before a behavior, the behavior itself .. if your parents modeled bike riding for you at age 4, but you were tall enough to reach the pedals of the bike and ride it until age 6 ... appetitive behavior is to approach, as consummatory behavior is to completion of a sequence of behaviors Habituation is to an increase in responding, sensitization is to a decrease in responding 1) W hen we say that behaviorists focus on the ABCs of learning, we mean they focus on what comes before a behavior, the behavior itself, and the consequences of that behavior. a. True b. False 2) If your parents modeled bike-riding for you at age 4, but you were tall enough to reach the pedals of the bike and ride it until age 6, we might say that you did not learn how to ride the bike until age 6. a. True b. False 3) Appetitive behavior is to approach, as consummatory behavior is to behaviors. a. True b. False 4) Habituation is to an increase in responding, sensitization is to a decrease in responding a. True b. False 5) In conditioned emotional (fear) response experiments, the central structure that is highly implicated in mediating the learning and organization of the behavioral response is the medial prefrontal cortex. a. True False 6) I am interested in understanding CRs to a stimulus that predicts delivery of a reward. If my results demonstrate that animals sit by the CS and interact with it, in theory we could say that these animals are goal trackers. a. True b. False 7) Relative to conditioned excitation, a conditioned inhibition (or Cs-) is generally thought to serve as a safety signal or a signal for the absence of the US a. True b. False 8) Higher-order conditioning is: a. Also known as sensory preconditioning b. Involves generalizing a conditioned response to settings in which the CS is present without the US Involves demonstrating a conditioned response in a setting other than where the initial learning took place d. B&C;

Explanation / Answer

1) Correct Answer - True

The ABC stands for Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence. Antecendent is what happens before the behaviour, the behaviour is the observed behaviour and consequence is what happens after the behaviour.

2) Correct Answer - False

Here, the parents started modeling the behaviour at age 4, and the child started to learn the behaviour from the age of 4 through observational learning, so when he could reach the pedals, he had already learned how to ride a bike.
