Learning that results from observing others" behaviors and imagining consequences without carrying it out ourselves. Learning a new connection between two paired stimuli a neutral stimulus and one that already elicits an automatic response. 1904, nobel prize for research on digestion. Observed that dogs showed physiological response to cues associated with food. Dogs would salivate when experimented entered the room (even before they were fed) There are some things we do automatically (i. e. , reflexes) Automatic response to a stimulus that does not need to be learned. Initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a response due to association with a ucs.

Dog salivated in response to the bell (cr)
