Document Summary
Psyc 101 week 5 lecture 3: learning. Learning: any relatively durable change in behaviour or knowledge due to experience, semantic information, skills, conditioning, phobias, ebbinghaus learning curve. 9: neutral stimulus no response, unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response. 10: neutral stimulus becomes unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response. Contiguity how close together in time the 2 stimuli are: stimuli generally need to be close together in time in order to be conditioned. Contingency how much one depends on the other (high contingency they depend on each other: pre-exposure of us (unlikely to get conditioned because it"s not predictive, pre-exposure of cs, latent inhibition, salience noticeable stimuli required. Forward conditioning neutral then unconditioned stimulus, but they overlap (most common and most effective because they"re close in contiguity. Trace conditioning- gap in between the neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus (weaker and takes longer due to lack of contiguity)
