Document Summary
Definitions from today on exam read the learning and critical thinking chapters. A relatively permanent change in behaviour, or though as a result of experience with the world, lasts over a period of time. Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which organism comes to associate stimuli, making connections. Difference: you don"t have to do anything (thunder - dog experiences fear), you do something followed be rewards/punishments (consequences of an action) Operant conditioning: a type of learning in which behaviour is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher. Unconditioned: nothing needs to be learned, comes naturally (dog salivates, food goes in the mouth) Conditioned: learned (the bell before food = food = salivation, so salivation becomes the conditioned response) **the salivation becomes the unconditioned and the conditioned response** (they are the same: food. Unconditioned stimulus (us): a stimulus that automatically triggers a response.
