23.Following his experience in the military, Hans developed a classically conditioned fear response to radio static. After he left the military, the response extinguished.

A)stimulus generalization.
B)stimulus discrimination.
C)reconditioning.
D)spontaneous recovery.
E)shaping.
24.Following extinction, a conditioned response can be learned again more quickly than it was learned originally. This process is called
A)spontaneous recovery.
B)generalization.
C)discrimination.
D)reconditioning.
E)shaping.
25.Stimulus generalization occurs when
A)the conditioned response reappears after extinction.
B)the conditioned response is displayed following exposure to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus.
C)the conditioned response is not displayed following presentation of the conditioned stimulus.
D)the conditioned stimulus elicits responses that are generally like the conditioned response.
E)the conditioned stimulus generalizes to other settings.
26.Regarding classical conditioning, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A)Stimulus generalization helps explain the development of phobias.
B)In extinction, conditioned responses gradually weaken and disappear.
C)By learning to differentiate among related stimuli, animals are able to distinguish between threatening and nonthreatening situations.
D)Stimulus generalization has survival value because it allows animals to generalize learned responses to originally threatening stimuli.
