- Q2A response is learned most rapidly and is most resistant to extinction if it is acquired under conditions of:continuous reinforcement followed by partial reinforcementextreme danger and physiological stress.partial reinforcement followed by continuous reinforcement.secondary reinforcement followed by primary reinforcement.120s
- Q3Resistance to extinction is most strongly encouraged by ________ reinforcement.delayedintermittentnegativecontinuous120s

- Q11A person adhering to the cognitive perspective would be likely to emphasize that classical conditioning depends on:an organism's expectation that a US will follow a CS.how strict of a punishment that is received.how frequently an organism is exposed to an association of a CS and a US.the amount of time between the presentation of the CS and the US.120s
- Q12Operant conditioning and classical conditioning differ in several ways. For example, in classical conditioning, extinction is the diminishing of a CR when a UCS does not follow a CS; in operant conditioning, extinction means:when punishment no longer occurs.a response that is no longer reinforced is eliminated.reinforcement is intermittent and so responding occurs only in certain situations.a response that is no longer reinforced occurs only once in a while.120s
