Document Summary
Observation: watching other people making a mistake, learn from that. Classical condition: have an unconditioned stimulus that results in an unconditioned response. Associate two or more products with one that creates a response. Association are learned unconsciously, unaware of the link. Extinction: the meaning of the association is lost. As quickly as the association is learnt, it can be lost. After extinction, learning can still occur, at first spontaneous recover (may be weaker) Phobia: an extreme fear of something, fear can be debilitating. Just imagining something happening can create an association and a phobia. Eliminating a phobia by behaviour approach or therapy. Generalization: fear of one thing leading to fear of the same group of things. Fear conditioning: linking a certain stimulus with fear (amygdala) Operant conditioning: reinforcement vs punishment and positive vs negative. Positive vs negative: introducing (positive) or taking away (negative) stimulus. Law of effect: good things that happen are appealing, bad things are avoided.
