Document Summary
1/10th of a second to make a decision. Patients were trained to describe experiences and thoughts in response to stimuli. Savings = original time to learn the set of words time to relearn. As the time since exposure increases, time to relearn increases which decreases savings. William james: there are a lot of senses present in the environment but experience is based on what you attend to. It is required that you withdraw from some to deal effectively with others. For example: you can understand what your friend is trying to say to you even if it is loud. You withdraw from others and focus on what the friend is trying to say. Conditioning explains behaviour in response to observable environment and observable responses of the dog. Skinner and operant conditioning: shape behaviour using rewards and punishment. Tolman and rats: tolman used a maze and let the rat explore.
