In this theory, a compound conditioned stimuli (such as a tone + light) can have an association with an unconditioned stimulus as a compound unit. This theory is: A. Configural theory B. Spence's theory of inhibition/excitation C. Kohler's theory of relational learning D. Rescorla-Wagner's theory of discrimination learning

Answer #1

Correct Answer- Rescorla-Wagner's theory of discrimination learning.

They suggested that not only conditioned stimuli physically present on a given trial can undergo changes in their associative strength, the associative value of a CS can also be altered by a within-compound-association with a CS present on that trial. A within-compound-association is established if two CSs are presented together during training (compound stimulus). If one of the two component CSs is subsequently presented alone, then it is assumed to activate a representation of the other (previously paired) CS as well. Van Hamme and Wasserman propose that stimuli indirectly activated through within-compound-associations have a negative learning parameter—thus phenomena of retrospective reevaluation can be explained.

To study the effects of early experience on conditioning, and experiment raised four groups of rats (randomly assigned) in the presence of (1) no special stimulus (2) a tone stimulus (3) a vibratory stimulus and (4) both a tone and vibratory stimulus. The rats were later classically conditioned (at random) using one of three intervals to foot shock as the unconditional stimulus. The dependent variable was the number of trials to reach learning (a predetermined number of trials). a) describe...

How can researchers be sure that a stimulus that is restricted to the isolated left hemisphere of a split-brain patient has been perceived and understood? A. The isolated left hemisphere does not typically exhibit any signs of understanding of stimuli presented only to it B. While they can't verbalise information about stimuli presented to the left hemisphere, split-brain patients can use manual gestures or pantomime to indicate what they have seen C. Patients can use subtle shifts in body position...

Compound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid F. What is the structure of compound C? Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not...

What is the benefit of separating the light and carbon reactions into different cells in C4 plants? Select one: a. CO2 to O2 ratios are maintained in the bundle sheath cells, even with a large number of stoma closed, because the light reactions are generating oxygen in a different cell. b. Since the light reactions occur closer to the leaf surface oxygen can escape more easily. c. More ATP remains to power metabolism in the mesophyll cells because the carbon...

17. Which of the following statements are accurate? A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands. B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It can bind to an acetylcholine receptor on the surface of a cell. If this receptor is also a sodium channel, we would call acetylcholine a ligand and its receptor a ligand-gated receptor. C. Neurotransmitters can act as chemical signals between two neurons. D. Diffusion is a type of passive transport and does not require energy. Sodium channels are an example...
