Document Summary
Unconditioned stimulus: a stimulus that alway causes an organism to respond in a speci c way (eg. food) Unconditioned response: a response that takes place in an organism whenever an unconditioned stimulus occurs (eg. salivation to food) Conditioned stimulus: an originally neutral stimulus that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus and eventually produced the formerly unconditioned response (eg. bell, footsteps) Conditioned response: after conditioned the response produced when the conditioned stimulus is present (eg. salivation to bell, footsteps) Notes - classical conditioning (3 questions on exam) Classical conditioning is learning by association (in comparison to operant conditioning: learning through behaviour) Learning is the process by which experience or practice results in a relatively permanent change in behaviour or in potential behaviour. Allows for precise control of the condition under which a behaviour is learned. Assumes level of similarity between species for generalisation of learning principles. Pavlov"s experiments interested in digestion of dogs tongues his tongue anticipation (re ex behaviour)
