PSYC 1100 Lecture 3: intelligence and learning
Document Summary
Process of acquiring through experience new info or behaviors. How do we learn: through association, consequences, through acquisition of consequences. Type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli to anticipate events. When you give dog a neutral stimulus such as food, dish, seeing someone brought the food, hearing footsteps. Neutral stimulus: a stimulus which does not trigger a response. In classical conditioning a stimulus that elicits no response before condition. Unconditioned stimulus: a stimulus which triggers a response naturally. Initial stage, paired neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimuli. Extinction: no longer have conditioned stimulus with conditioned response. Reappearance after a pause of an extinguished conditioned response. Pair a conditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus, associating the bell with a light instead of food. Turning ns to cs by associating with another cs. Generalization: a bell that was associated with food changes to other bells or similar in sound and produce same response.
