Document Summary

~two related events: stimulus 1- lightening + stimulus 2- thunder. ~result after repetition: stimulus- we see lightning -> response- we wince anticipating thunder. Learning- refers to a relatively permanent change in behavior (or knowledge) due to experience. 3 types of learning: classical conditioning/plavlovian conditioning. Specifically, the reaction of a dogs salivary glands to food in the mouth. While studying physiological responses, he noticed another response was learned in the presence of other more psychological stimuli (i. e. , dogs mouth began to water when dog saw the attendant) ((as his research progressed, found that dogs acustomed to procedure)) Pavlov was intrigued and decided to investigate further. Found that there are some basic processes involved in classical conditioning acquisition. Unconditioned stimulus- a stimulus that elicits a response with no training or learning (food) Unconditioned response- unlearned reaction to the us, natural, innate response, ex: eye blinking or (dog salivates)
