What is the role stimuli and responses play in the three kinds of learning?
What will be an ideal response?
Associative learning involves learning by making a relationship or connection between two events; whereas, nonassociative learning involves learning about a single stimulus.
Classical conditioning is a kind of associative learning in which a neutral stimulus acquires the ability to produce a response that was originally produced by a different stimulus.
Operant conditioning is a kind of associative learning in which the consequences that follow some behavior increase or decrease the likelihood of that behavior's occurrence in the
future.
Cognitive learning is a kind of nonassociative learning that involves mental processes, such as attention and memory; may be learned through observation or imitation; and may not involve any external rewards or require the person to perform any observable behaviors.

What will be an ideal response?
Craig has one short copy and one long copy of the serotonin transporter gene. He also had a fairly rough childhood as he grew up in foster care. What does this tell us about his vulnerability for major depressive disorder (MDD)?
A. It is almost completely certain that Craig will be diagnosed with MDD at some point during his lifetime. B. It is almost completely certain that Craig will not be diagnosed with MDD. C. It is uncertain if Craig will develop MDD as research has shown mixed results. D. There is not enough information since the larger genetic factor lies with the genes for circadian rhythms.
Why is MEG more useful than fMRI for studying participants' responses to quiet sounds?
A. MEG equipment is much cheaper and easier to use than fMRI equipment. B. The magnets used in fMRI are very noisy, blocking the ability to sense quiet sounds. C. MEG recordings of brain activity must be taken more slowly than fMRI images, allowing a more accurate assessment of brain activity. D. Neither of these technologies is suitable for assessing participants' responses to sound.
