Document Summary
Two types of unconscious learning: classical conditioning, associate 2 related events. Dogs would salivate even before their food was delivered into their mouth. Sound of metronome following training triggered salivation of dogs (conditional reflex, so-called bc it was conditional upon training) Subtopic: contingencies: when one stimulus reliably predicts the presentation of another. Studying a contingent relationship: the presentation of one stimulus reliably leads to the presentation of another. Association between a signal and an event, a contingency has been formed between two stimuli. Classical conditioning: the learning of a contingency between a particular signal and a later event that are paired in time and/or space. When the first event (the signal) is consistently followed by the second event, the association that an organism may form between these events is a contingency. Unconditioned response: the response that occurs after the unconditioned stimulus. When us occurs, ur always follow without any training.
