1. Taste aversions are a type of classical conditioning, and if there is a long delay between the CS and US, conditioning is usually prevented. The fact that people and animals can be develop taste aversions even though sickness occurs long after eating indicates that:

   A. taste aversions are really more like operant conditioning
   B. taste aversions can be unlearned as well
   C. there is a biological tendency to associate sickness with any food eaten earlier
   D. there is less aversion associated with the actual sickness than with whatever caused the sickness in the first place

2. In classical conditioning two______are associated.

   A. Punishers
   B. Stimuli
   C. Responses
   D. Reinforces

3. In classical conditioning, learning is evident when a:

   A. stimulus automatically produces a response without a prior history of experience
   B. stimulus which did not initially produce a response now elicits that response
   C. spontaneously emitted response increases in frequency as a result of in consequences
   D. subject repeats an action he or she has observed in another and is praised for it

4. In classical conditioning, events critical to the learning occur________the response:

   A. before
   B. after
   C. simultaneously with
