The opponent process theory says we have 3 complementary pairs of what colors?

What is sculpting new responses out of old ones by rewarding successive steps to a behavior?

What pitch theory says hairs in the cochlea's basilar membrane respond to different frequencies based on their location?

What perception progresses from the whole to the individual elements?

What is a stimulus like money that can be linked to a primary reinforcer?

What is the main theory about pain impulses and nonpain impulses?

What is perceiving objects the same way regardless of changing angle, distance, or lighting?

Loudness is determined by

What is a stimulus that causes a predictable response without prior training?

What psychologists say that certain species have a biological preparedness to learn associations to enhance survival?

What pitch theory says that hair cells all vibrate at once but the rate of firing makes us perceive a high or low pitch?

What is responding differently to two similar but distinct stimuli?

What is learning from the consequences (rewards or punishments) of voluntary behavior?

What is reinforcing good behavior with valueless objects that can be exchanged for valued rewards?

What happens when the CR reappears after a rest period after extinction occurred?

What is a once-neutral event that leads to a certain response after training?

Which are sensitive to lower levels of light and which require more daylight to activate?

What is the smallest change in a stimulus that can be detected between two stimuli?

What is the process of your ears working together to detect the direction of where a sound came from?

What happens when a CS functions as if it were a UCS?

Why was the Little Albert experiment considered unethical?

What satisfies a biological need like hunger or thirst?

Which of the following is NOT a Gestalt principle?

The rare cases of someone's senses mixing together is known as

Which pitch theory says in order to detect very high frequencies our neurons will alternate firing?

What is reinforcing behavior every time it occurs (which creates quick learning but also quick extinction)?

Superstitions occurring from assuming a response coincided with a reward or punishment and always will results in what?

What happens when our senses adapt or adjust to a constant level of stimulation?

What is removing something unpleasant after a certain behavior to increase that behavior?

What is failure to see visible objects when your attention is directed elsewhere?

What is a mental picture of a place or spatial relations?

What aspect of social learning involves observing and imitating others?

What is removing a rewarding stimulus to decrease a behavior?

What is the schedule where there is a changing amount of time before reinforcement occurs?

When repeated attempts to control a situation fail and you stop trying later on, what is that?

What happens when behavior is only sometimes reinforced (which takes longer to learn but creates a lasting behavior)?

What is a natural reaction to a stimulus?

What is the gradual disappearance of a CR when the CS is repeatedly presented without the UCS?

What is differentiating between a figure and its background, either in sight or in sound?

What is the weakest amount of a stimulus that you can detect half the time?

What happens when critical information is missed when you are trying to multitask?

What happens when your perceptions are affected by expectations and priming?

What is the illusion of apparent movement created by presenting visual stimuli in rapid succession (like movie frames)?

The trichromatic theory of color says we have what three cones that activate in different combinations to produce color?
