Document Summary
Learning a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs through experience. Classical conditioning an association is made between two events. Operant conditioning an association is made between a behaviour and a consequence. Stimulus = thing (must be a noun) Unconditioned stimulus (ucs: automatically, naturally, reflexively causes a response triggers a response, ex. Unconditioned response (ucr: unlearned, naturally occurring response to the ucs, ex. Neutral stimulus (ns: stimulus that originally has no significant response associated with it, it may produce a reaction (looking in the general direction) but not the response, ex. Conditioned stimulus (cs: originally neutral stimulus that, after pairing with ucs, one learns to respond to, triggers a conditioned response, ex. Conditioned response (cr: learned response to a conditioned stimulus because of repeated pairings, ex. The ucs must automatically produce a response (the food) The ns must be something that initially had no significant response associated with it (the bell) The ns = cs (this will always be true)
