Which of the following statements about discrimination learning is FALSE?Group of answer choicesThe rate of discrimination learning is partly determined by both the difficulty of the discrimination and the intensity of the consequences when a correct or incorrect choice is made.Successful discrimination learning necessarily requires that the presence of the outcome corresponds with the presence a cue such that the two have a positive contingency.It can take longer to learn to discriminate between highly similar stimuli and, when we do, it can lead to biases in the way we generalise to other stimuli.Discrimination learning tends to reduce generalization to novel stimuli relative to a situation in which the learner only learns about a single stimulus.Passive exposure to the discriminative stimuli improves the learner’s ability to discriminate between them when they are associated with different consequences.

Discrimination is a behavior; prejudice is an attitude.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Stimulus discriminationMultiple Choiceoccurs if two stimuli are different from one another and one evokes a conditioned response and the other does not.shapes or influences learned behavior based on reward.is related to patterns of reinforcement based on punishment.is the connection between a stimulus and some type of reward or punishment.

Which of the following observations is consistent with the idea that learned changes in attention may sometimes serve an explorative function, rather than exploitative function?Group of answer choicesLearning of a CS-US relationship proceeds slower if the CS and US have previously been presented in an explicitly uncorrelated fashion.Under some circumstances, attention in humans appears to show conditioning-like properties, producing automatic changes in how we process complex visual stimuli.People tend to learn faster about predictive cues that have been predictive in other similar learning contexts.Learning an easy version of a discrimination can substantially improve subsequent discrimination on a harder version of the discrimination.Rats continue to orient towards a partially reinforced CS for longer than they do to either a continuously reinforced CS or a non-reinforced CS.

Discrimination is to ________ as prejudice is to ________.Question 7Select one:a.feelings; behaviorb.thoughts; feelingsc.feelings; thoughtsd.behavior; feelings

Which of the following best describes a fundamental difference between discrimination and decision-making?*1 pointA. Discrimination involves choosing among multiple options based on sensory perception, while decision-making is limited to higher-order cognitive processes that require executive function.B. Discrimination requires evaluating possible outcomes and selecting a course of action, while decision-making focuses on recognizing differences among stimuli.C. Discrimination is the process of distinguishing between different stimuli, while decision-making involves integrating information and selecting among alternative actions, often considering risks and future consequences.D. Discrimination is primarily mediated by the prefrontal cortex, while decision-making relies mainly on sensory cortices and the basal ganglia.
