1.  Choose a situation from your area of professional interest that is likely to involve a classical conditioning effect. Diagram and label the following components:  Conditioned Stimulus, Unconditioned Stimulus, Conditioned Response, Unconditioned Response, Conditioned Reflex, Unconditioned Reflex.

2. Choose a situation from your area of professional interest that is likely to have been produced by a classical conditioning effect. Now explain how you would extinguish the response. Describe how the “spontaneous recovery” effect and the “rapid reacquisition” effect may affect your extinction.

3. Describe the “spontaneous recovery” effect and the “rapid reacquisition” effect. What causes these effects to occur according to Pavlov and according to Bouton?  Who makes the stronger case and why?

4. Explain the "renewal effect." Describe a situation from your area of professional interest where this effect may be a problem.

5. Rescorla (1988) points to work by himself and by Kamin as changing the interpretation of Classical Conditioning. What was done? What was found? How did these results change our view of Classical Conditioning?

6. Choose a situation from your area of professional interest in which you could produce a classical conditioning effect. What event(s) might you choose to function as a UCS according to Pavlov vs Kamin? What would be a UCS that would discriminate between the approaches of Pavlov vs Kamin?

7. Choose a situation from your area of professional interest in which you could produce a classical conditioning effect. What events would likely be a strong CS, a medium-effect CS, and a weak CS (or CS-) according to a contingency analysis vs. a contiguity analysis?

8. Apply Siegel's conditioning model of addiction to the case of coffee drinking. (Assume that caffeine is the UCS.) How does he explain tolerance, craving, and withdrawal effects? What should be the effect of drinking decaffeinated coffee according to Siegel? What should be the effect according to Pavlov?
