Fill in the Blanks

Q1: Learning is defined as a "long-lasting modification in behavior or potential behavior that is the result of an individual's __________."

Q2: Classical conditioning involves pairing a conditioned stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to elicit an unconditioned response (UCR). Over time, the CS becomes a __________ that elicits a conditioned response (CR).

Q3: In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement increases the probability of a response by providing a __________ outcome for the behavior.

Q4: Extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a learned response when the __________ that previously followed it is removed.

Q5: Observational learning, also known as __________, is influenced by whether the model's behavior is rewarded or punished.

Q6: Insight learning refers to the sudden realization or understanding of a problem that leads to a solution without the need for __________ learning.

Q7: Verbal learning involves acquiring knowledge about objects and events through __________.

Q8: Natural concepts are __________ and difficult to learn.

Q9: In skill learning, the transfer of learning is the process by which a person can apply learned skills from one situation to another __________ situation.

Q10: Learning disabilities can encompass a diverse range of disorders that lead to challenges in acquiring skills related to __________, writing, speaking, reasoning, and mathematics.

Assertion and Reason Based 

Q1: Assertion: Classical conditioning involves pairing a conditioned stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS).
Reason: The CS becomes a signal that predicts the occurrence of the UCS.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
(d) The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Q2: Assertion: Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is shaped through successive approximations.
Reason: Shaping involves the positive reinforcement of responses that increasingly resemble the desired response.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
(d) The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Q3: Assertion: In observational learning, children often learn behaviors by observing and imitating adults.
Reason: Observational learning is also known as social learning or modeling.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
(d) The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Q4: Assertion: Insight learning refers to the sudden realization or understanding of a problem.
Reason: In insight learning, there is a specific cognitive relationship between the means and the end of a problem-solving task.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
(d) The assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Q5: Assertion: Learning disabilities are challenges in acquiring skills related to reading, writing, speaking, reasoning, and mathematics.
Reason: The root cause of learning disabilities can be traced back to issues in the central nervous system.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
(d) The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
