Document Summary

Learning: change in an organism"s behaviour or thought as a result of experience, habituation and sensitization, responding to stimuli less or more over time. Associative learning: a change as a result of experience where two or more stimuli become linked. Connections are formed between two or more stimuli, classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Non-associative learning: learning that doesn"t involve forming associations between stimuli; it is change resulting from experiences with a single sensory cue. Habituation: a form of non-associative, process which respond less strongly over time to repeated stimuli, not dangerous or are a direct threat. Classical conditioning: form of associative, between two previously unrelated stimuli that results in a learned response. Five primary components: neutral stimulus (ns), unconditioned stimulus (ucs), unconditioned response (ucr), conditioned stimulus (cs), conditioned response (cr) Ivan pavlov and his dogs: digestion of dogs, first work in classical conditioning. Neutral stimulus: one that doesn"t elicit any particular response, pavlov used metronome, paired the.
