True False

Answer 1

1. A3 B2 C1

This theory (classical conditioning) is propagated by Ivan Pavlov. He did an experiment on his dog as happened to Esmeralda. She is conditioned to respond to the stimuli- food. As soon as the bell rings, she becomes alert and the mouth watering becomes the conditioned response. The bell act as an unconditioned stimulus as it doesn't ring at fixed time intervals. The food act as a conditioned stimulus because it is fixed reward for which the person does an action.

2. False.

Operant conditioning is totally opposite to Classical conditioning.

A. Under classical conditioning, the participant is conditioned to perform specific behaviour while in perant conditioning, the participant is not controlled through stimulus but offered reinforcement.

B. Under classical conditioning, the response can be involuntary while in operant conditioning a voluntary behaviour and a consequence is present.

3. True

The description of the picture of a parrot may not include physical signs but as one carefully observe it, the picture of its physical structure develops first.
