Document Summary

Emergence of behavior theory: two kinds of associative learning: pavlovian conditioning. Describes one type of associative learning in which there is a contingency between the response and the presentation of the reinforcer: we learn to associate a response and its consequence. Memory is storage, retention, and recall of events, information and procedures. Before during and after reading research information, important to keep the sources": purpose, bias and openness, accuracy and credibility, comprehensiveness, myths in mind: abducted by aliens. Elicit: to call forth, draw out, provoke. Animals possess many innate abilities: breathing, heart beat, reflexes, tropisms, innate=genetic=hereditary= occurs by nature= inborn, characteristics of behavior, behavior is not random but purposeful or goal directed, innate vs. learning. Innate- occurs regardless of experience: approaches to psychology, nature vs nurture, reflexes. Step reflex: crawl reflex, elicited behaviors to reflexes. Sequential organization of behavior: effects of repeated stimulation, salivation of repeated stimulation. Salivation and hedonic rating of taste in people.
