Document Summary
An enduring change in behaviour, resulting from experience. When there is a very slight delay between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus, it works better this way. The tone predicts that the food is coming next. 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 (ex. Light) comes to elicit a reflexive response (if you feel air in your eye, you blink) because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Unconditioned stimulus (us: rocking of the boat. Unconditioned response (ur: feeling sea sick, blowing on the whistle when he rocks boat, so now the tiger will feel seasickness. Acquisition: the gradual formation of an association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. The neutral stimulus becomes your conditioned stimulus and then it makes a conditioned response.
