Question

question 33
in classical conditioning, how are the neutral stimulus and the cs related?
○ the cs becomes a neutral stimulus.
○ they are the same thing, the terms are interchangeable.
○ the neutral stimulus becomes the cs
○ they are not related, they are completely different stimuli.

question 34
reinforcers that satisfy a biological need are called ______ reinforcers.
○ positive
○ unconditioned
○ reflexive
○ primary

Explanation:

Question 33

In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus (initially doesn't elicit a response) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. After pairing, the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits a conditioned response. So the neutral stimulus becomes the CS.

Primary reinforcers are stimuli that satisfy biological needs (like food, water). Positive reinforcers add a pleasant stimulus, unconditioned reinforcers aren't a standard term, and reflexive isn't related to this. So reinforcers satisfying biological needs are primary reinforcers.

Answer:

C. The neutral stimulus becomes the CS
