Worked practice questions

Small song birds first react to a stuffed owl as a real predator but soon react less. Which kind of learning is this?

  1. Sensitization
  2. Extinction
  3. Imprinting
  4. Habituation
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Habituation

1. The birds' innate response to a repeated, harmless stimulus gradually weakens. 2. Sensitization would make the response stronger, and extinction needs a reward to stop following the response. 3. Hence it is habituation. _Source: Wikipedia, Learning, section Habituation_

Which non-associative learning shows a response growing stronger with repeated stimuli?

  1. Habituation
  2. Imprinting
  3. Extinction
  4. Sensitization
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Sensitization

1. In this learning the response is progressively amplified with repeated stimulation. 2. Habituation is the opposite, since the response diminishes. 3. Conditioning and imprinting are associative or stage-bound, so sensitization is correct. _Source: Wikipedia, Learning, section Sensitization_

Non-associative learning can be divided into which two forms?

  1. Imprinting and observation
  2. Classical and operant conditioning
  3. Rote and meaningful learning
  4. Habituation and sensitization
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Habituation and sensitization

1. Non-associative learning concerns the response to a single repeated stimulus. 2. Classical and operant conditioning are associative, and rote and meaningful describe depth of understanding. 3. So habituation and sensitization are the two forms. _Source: Wikipedia, Learning, section Non-associative learning_
