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 11
A bell is rung before presenting food to a dog. After several pairings, the dog salivates at the sound of the bell alone. What is the unconditioned response in this scenario?
A child hears thunder after seeing lightning several times and begins to feel scared at the sight of lightning alone. In this scenario, what is the conditioned response?
A student feels anxious every time they enter the exam hall because they once had a panic attack there. In this scenario, what is the conditioned stimulus?
Describe how classical conditioning can be used to treat phobias.
