Question

16. Which of the following statements about extinction is correct? a. Extinction can involve no longer presenting the reinforcer as a consequence of the instrumental response b. Extinction can involve repeated presentations of the conditioned stimulus without the US. c. Extinction is not the same thing as forgetting d. All of the above are correct 17. A phobia that is extinguished in the context of a therapist's office can easily return when the client returns home. This is an example of a. renewal. b. extinction c. spontaneous recovery. d. none of the above. 18. Responding declines more rapidly in extinction following reinforcement training with a larger reinforcer. This is called a. spontaneous recovery b. reinstatement c. the overtraining extinction effect d. the magnitude of reinforcement extinction effect. 19. Extensive reinforcement training leads to more rapid extinction. This is called a. spontaneous recovery b. reinstatement c. the overtraining extinction effect d. the magnitude of reinforcement extinction effect. 20. The partial reinforcement extinction effect is characterized by a. slower extinction following intermittent reinforcement b. more rapid extinction following intermittent reinforcement c. slower extinction in the absence of reinforcement when a response chain is used d. more rapid extinction in the absence of reinforcement when a response chain is used 21. The phenomena of spontaneous recovery and the renewal effect are important to the study of learning because they show that a. forgetting is responsible for extinction b. extinction results in the unlearning of conditioned behavior c. extinction is not simply the opposite of acquisition d. suppression of conditioned responding is permanent and cannot be reversed 22. According to Amsel's frustration theory, which of the following is the key to persistent responding in extinction? a Frustration builds during extinction, which leads to irrational behavior such as continued b. Animals become frustrated when reinforcement does not occur and consequently give up c. With sufficient training, intermittent reinforcement resuits in learning to make the instrumental d. With sufficient training, continuous reinforcement results in learning to make the instrumental responding in the absence of reinforcement responding response in anticipation of nonreward response in anticipation of nonreward.

Explanation / Answer

Answer for 16th question- Existence is not the same as forgetting is the right answer.

Forgetting is where a behaviour is weakened due to long time gap, since its last occurrence, whereas extinction is caused by not being reinforced and as a result behavior is weakened.
