Document Summary

After working through this lesson"s material, you should be able to: Describe how behaviours are acquired and extinguished through classical conditioning. Identify the ucs, cs, ucr and cr: describe the basic principles of stimulus generalization and discrimination, describe habituation, contrast contiguity and contingency, and describe the importance of these for conditioning to occur. Describe biological influences and cognitive approaches to learning: describe taste aversion, preparedness, instinctive drift and imprinting, describe the ability to navigate in the physical environment (spatial and latent learning), describer insight and observational learning. Last week, we looked at how ancestral environments shaped behaviour and mental processes. This week, we will examine how the current environment contributes. Together, evolution ( nature ) and learning ( nurture ) provide the foundation for understanding these processes. We will start by looking at the definition of learning, and then take a look at two main types of learning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
