Question

Short answer :

1. I have two new flavors you’ve never experienced before; fluffle and chizzle. I repeatedly present these flavors to you in a paired fashion. I then pair fluffle with something that makes you sick. What will your conditioned response be to separate presentations of fluffle and chizzle? What type of conditioning has occurred?

2. Two groups of rats were trained to navigate a runway (CR) for food (US). One group earned a single food pellet, the other group earned three pellets. When both groups are shifted to a situation in which they earn the alternative reward (i.e., group one now gets 3 pellets and group 2 now gets 1 pellet, what type of behavioral effect would you expect to observe in each group and why?

Explanation / Answer

1. i) a) My conditioned response to fluffle, when presented separately, will be negative (because it will remind me of the sickness, since it was presented with the thing that makes me sick).

1. i) b) My conditioned response to chizzle, when presented separately, will be neutral (because it was not presented with anything good or bad to me).

1. ii) What type of conditioning has occurred? - Classical conditioning has occured.

2. When both groups are shifted to a situation in which they earn the alternative reward, we will expect to observe :

a) In the First Group, the rats get motivated, because the incentive has increased, so they will perform better than before while navigating the Runway.

b) In the Second Group, the rats get demotivated, because the incentive has decreased, so they will perform poorer than before while navigating the Runway.
