Document Summary
Learning refers to a change in the way an organism responds based on experience. Reponses are learned rather than innate: not true, we are born with some responses. Classical conditioning: ivan pavlov noted that reflexive salivation in dogs could be a result of a stimuli associated with feeding. Reflexive stimulus and response are unconditioned: born with. Neutral stimulus is the bell, is the conditioned stimulus. Extinction occurs when the conditioning weakens because the ucs is not present anymore. Acquisition occurs when the repeated parings of unconditioned and conditioned stimulus are presented together. Recovery sometimes occurs spontaneously when the conditioned stimulus is presented again. Stimulus discrimination occurs when the organism does not respond in the same way to a stimulus that is similar to the original stimulus, but only and only to the original. Forward conditions, the unconditioned stimulus is presented after the conditioned stimulus (good conditioning) Simultaneous conditioning, both stimulus are presented at the same time.
