Document Summary
Learning: a relatively permanent/enduring change in behavior or knowledge, Classical (pavlovian) conditioning - occurs when two different stimuli come to be associated with one another. Doesn"t require any action on the part of the learner. A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a reflexive response because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Unconditioned stimulus (us) - rocking of the boat. Unconditioned response (ur) - feeling of sea sickness. Conditioned stimulus (cs) - blowing of the whistle. Conditioned response (cr) - feeling of sea sickness. Pavlov example: us - food in mouth, ns - tone, ns+us = ur (salivation), cs (tone), cr (salivation) Acquisition: the gradual formation of an association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimuli. Extinction: process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
