Question

Edward Thorndike proposed his law of effect after experimenting with animals using these objects as puzzles. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name these objects. Another psychologist who refined Thorndike’s law of effect names some of these objects that were used to study reinforcement in pigeons.

ANSWER: boxes [or chambers; accept Skinner boxes; accept puzzle boxes; accept, but DO NOT REVEAL, operant conditioning chambers]

[10e] Reinforcements and punishments are delivered in the operant form of this process. Ivan Pavlov did not use bells in performing the “classical” form of this process on dogs.

ANSWER: conditioning [accept classical conditioning or operant conditioning; prompt on learning]

[10h] This classical conditioning model claims the strength of a learned association depends on salience times association value. Two namesake Yale psychologists developed this model to explain blocking of new stimuli.

ANSWER: Rescorla–Wagner model [or R-W model]
