Document Summary
Learning - a change in a person"s behaviour or thought as a result of experience. Habituation - reduced response when a stimulus is presented repeatedly. Dishabituation - occurs when new stimuli appears. When this happens, i should do that. Automatic response transferred to a neutral stimulus. Pavlov"s dogs were conditioned to associate the sound of a tone with food. Unconditioned stimulus (ucs) - stimulus that evokes an automatic response. Unconditioned response (ucr) - automatic response to a ucs. Conditioned stimulus (cs) - a previously neutral stimulus that now evokes a conditioned response. Conditioned response (cr) - learned reaction to a cs, not permanent due to extinction. Stimuli similar to the cs elicit a cr, but the more similar the new stimulus is to the original cs, the greater the cr. Stimulus generalization - responding to a new stimulus in a way similar to the response produced by an established cs.
