Classical Conditioning
Psychology ⇒ Learning and Memory
Classical Conditioning starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Classical Conditioning.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A child hears a loud noise every time a white rat is presented. Eventually, the child cries at the sight of the white rat alone. In this scenario, what is the conditioned stimulus?
A person feels nauseous after eating a certain food and later feels sick at the sight of that food. In this example, what is the conditioned response?
Describe a real-life example of classical conditioning outside of Pavlov’s experiment.
Describe the process of acquisition in classical conditioning.

A dog is conditioned to salivate to a bell. Later, the bell is paired with a light, and the dog begins to salivate to the light alone. What is this process called? (1) Extinction (2) Generalization (3) Second-order conditioning (4) Discrimination
A person feels nauseous after eating a certain food and later feels sick at the sight of that food. In this example, what is the conditioned response?
A person who develops a fear of elevators after being stuck in one is experiencing classical conditioning. True or False?
A dog is conditioned to salivate to a bell. Later, the bell is paired with a light, and the dog begins to salivate to the light alone. What is this process called? (1) Extinction (2) Generalization (3) Second-order conditioning (4) Discrimination
After conditioning, the bell in Pavlov’s experiment became the: (1) Unconditioned stimulus (2) Conditioned stimulus (3) Unconditioned response (4) Conditioned response
Discrimination in classical conditioning means: (1) Responding to all stimuli (2) Responding only to the specific conditioned stimulus (3) Ignoring the unconditioned stimulus (4) Responding to the neutral stimulus only
If a dog is conditioned to salivate to a bell, and then the bell is repeatedly presented without food, what will likely happen to the salivation response? (1) It will increase (2) It will stay the same (3) It will decrease (4) It will become a new unconditioned response
In classical conditioning, the process of learning the association between two stimuli is called ________.
In classical conditioning, the stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response is called the ________ stimulus.
In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus always produces a(n) ________ response.
In Pavlov’s experiment, salivation in response to food is an example of a(n) ________ response.
A person who develops a fear of elevators after being stuck in one is experiencing classical conditioning. True or False?
Classical conditioning involves learning through association. True or False?
Extinction in classical conditioning refers to the process where the conditioned response decreases after the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus. True or False?
Generalization occurs when a conditioned response is triggered by stimuli similar to the original conditioned stimulus. True or False?
