QUESTION7 2 points Saved In the retardation-of-acquisition test for inhibition, the rescarcher first O preexposes the stimulus and then attempts to turn it into a conditioned inhibitor. extinguishes a conditioned excitor and then attempts to turn it into a conditioned inhibitor. O extinguishes a conditioned inhibitor and then presents it in compound with a conditioned excitor. creates a conditioned inhibitor and then attempts to turn it into a conditioned excitor QUESTION 8 2 points Save Answer Positive reward involves the of stimulus following a response. presentation; an aversive presentation; a pleasant removal; an aversive removal; a pleasant

Explanation / Answer

The required answers are:

7) The answer is, "creates a conditioned inhibitor and then attempts to turn it into a conditioned excitor".

Retardation of conditioned inhibitor is a process that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor of that stimulus, if it is slower to acquire excitory properties of a comparative stimulus.

8) The answer is, "presentation; a pleasant".

Positive reward occurs when a desirable event or stimulus is presented as a result of a behaviour, leading to the increase in likelihood of the occurance of such behaviour in future.

9) The answer is, "can demonstrate that behaviours can be passed across generations."

Artificial selection focuses on generation based trait values.

10) The answer is. "based on a fitness criterion: that is the fastest, largest, strongest most distinctly marked members of the species are most likely to survive".

A prerequisitie for natural selection to result in adaptive evolution, is the presence of heritable genetic variation that leads to fitness differences. Therefore, natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

11) The answer is, "interference is not an important factor regulating the strength of taste aversion learning".

12) The answer is, "conditioned excitation".
