Discussion

Conditioned and unconditioned stimuli begin and end at the same time. This process is called ...........

  • A.Acquisition conditioning
  • B.Delay conditioning
  • C.Backward conditioning
  • D.Simultaneous conditioning

Answer: D

This is Simultaneous conditioning.

In classical conditioning, the timing of the conditioned stimulus (CS) relative to the unconditioned stimulus (US) defines the procedure. In simultaneous conditioning the CS and US begin and end at the same time. It usually produces weak conditioning, because the CS does not predict the US.

In delay conditioning the CS starts first and overlaps with the US, which generally gives the strongest learning. In backward conditioning the US comes before the CS. Acquisition is the stage in which a conditioned response is first learned, not a timing arrangement.
