Question
PSY 100 test 2 Table Design Layout 1. My family members are sources of stress. When they call me, it usually means there is a horrible problem they want me to fix. Because of that, I feel a rush of fear when my phone rings. "Please not them, please not them," I think as I check the caller ID. My whole body relaxes once I see someone else is calling. Im thinking about setting my phone so it has a special ringtone whenever my family members call. That way, I wouldn't feel stressed every time my phone rings. I would also be able to decide immediately whether to answer, without even looking at my phone. However, I'm not certain that setting a special ringtone is a good idea. If I decide to use a special ringtone for my family, I know which tone I will use. In classical conditioning terms, right now that tone is a an unconditioned stimulus b. a neutral stimulus c. a conditioned stimulus d. a conditioned response 2. Using a special ringtone won't remove the fear I feel whenever the phone rings. It would probably take a long time for me to stop responding to the current tone with fear. Even then, the current tone would still teak me out once in a while, thanks to a. spontaneous recovery b. the generalization of conditioned stimuli c. implicit learning 3. My family gives me stress, but when I don't hear from them for a while, I start wormrying. The only way to make my mind peaceful again is to give them a call. In that sense, I guess you could say that talking to my family is a kind of a. positive punisher EB b. negative punisher c. positive reinforcer d. negative reinforcer 4. Some stressors can't be avoided. They're just a part of life. I wish I could say that about my family's problems, but I can't. Most of my family's problems are caused by their own poor decisions and poor behaviors. My close relatives are quite low in a. extenalization b. heuristic thinking c. self-regulation d. fluid intelligenceExplanation / Answer
1. B. Neutral stimulus ( right now the tone has not been associated with stressful situations)
2. A. Spontaneous recovery ( by defenition, spontaneous recovery is the re-emergence of conditioned response after a period of rest or extinction)
3. C. Negative reinforcer (talking to family reduces unpleasant state of worrying and hence reinforced).
4. C. Self regulation ( problems caused by their own poor behaviour and decisions).
