Definition: a relatively permanent change in knowledge or behaviour as a result of experience . Classical conditioning (pavlov: learn by association. Observational learning (bandura: learn through modeling. Classical conditioning: definition: a stimulus comes to elicit a response that it would not normally elicit , historical roots, pavlov"s (1905) nobel prize for digestion, critical factors, generalization, discrimination, extinction, applications and biological constraints. Aristotle"s law of contiguity: proposed concept of conditioned reflex and developed theory of classical conditioning, we are inclined to associate things if they occur in close proximity to each other. Ucs = unconditioned stimulus and ucr = unconditioned response. Cs (tuning fork) and cr (dog salivating) Baby courtney, you like the name cause she is cute: ucs is her cuteness, ucr is the aawww when we see her, cs is the name, cr is the awwww . Classical conditioning: critical factors: intensity of the ucs, number of cs-ucs pairings, time interval (0. 5 secs as opposed to a minute)
