How many paired comparisons are possible given 9 stimulus objects?
The number of paired comparisons possible with 9 stimulus objects can be calculated using the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of objects. In this case, with 9 stimulus objects, the number of paired comparisons possible would be 36.
Did Watson use classical conditioning principles in a famous study of Little Hans?
No, the famous study of Little Hans was conducted by Sigmund Freud, not John B. Watson. Freud used the case study to explore psychoanalytic concepts such as the Oedipus complex and phobias in children. Watson, on the other hand, was known for his work in behaviorism and classical conditioning.

It refers to the physical characteristics of stimuli that directly affect our sensory receptors, such as light waves hitting the retina in the case of vision or sound waves interacting with the ear for hearing.
What is the difference between an absolute threshold and a decision threshold?
The absolute threshold refers to the minimum level of stimulation needed for a sensory system to detect a stimulus. The decision threshold is the point at which a person decides whether a stimulus is present or absent based on the strength of the stimulus compared to a set criterion.
Is natural selection if a pigeon learns when its keeper comes near it it will be fed?
No, you are probably thinking of classical/pavlovian/respondent conditioning. This is when a conditioned stimulus, in this situation it would be the keeper, comes to signal the occurrence of a second unconditioned stimulus, in this case being fed.
Ethical problem that Little Albert has?
There were many ethical problems with the Little Albert study. Firstly, it was clearly a case of harm to the participant.

Thirdly, the right to withdraw was under question as, even as Albert became distressed with the experiment, it continued.

Pavlov's experiment was a typical case of classical conditioning because?
Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. In Pavlov's experiment the tone of a bell was the natural stimulus, and it caused salivating in response to food. Eventually the tone of the bell would produce salivating.
