Biology of learning (1 question) last quarter of chapter: early 1900"s- a resistance to the dominant paradigms in psychology of the day, introspection and freidan psychoanalysts, psychologists started to try to make psychology more scientific, experimental. High order conditioning: a neutral stimulus can become a conditioned stimulus by being paired with an already established cs, levels of associations. Learning to like: where do sentimental feelings come from, objects have been associate din the past with positive feelings (flag stimulates positive response but it does not innately mean anything) Classical conditioning in real life: conditioning plays a big role in our emotional responses to objects, people. Psychology as the behaviour views it : psychology is a purely objective natural science, don"t need to study the mind, just study the behaviours, no defining line between animals and humans so we can study animals.
