Document Summary

Learning - some experience that results in relatively long lasting change in the state of. Habituation - a general process whereby repeated exposure to a stimulus results in a gradual reduction in response. Sensitization - a process whereby a strong stimulus results in an exaggerated response to a later presentation of weaker stimuli. Partly a result of interneurons releasing excitatory chemicals. Neural plasticity - the nervous system"s ability to change. When a neural stimulus leads to a response after being impaired with a stimulus that. Examples such as that was easy and nerfgun, pavlov, etc. When keep pairing the neural stimulus with something that naturally causes a reaction (unconditioned stimulus, ucs) Implicit learning occurs when previously neutral stimulus is now a reliable indicator of. The previously neutral stimulus is now a conditioned stimulus (cs) Unconditioned stimulus (ucs) - stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in the absence of learning.
