Document Summary

A relatively permanent change in behaviour (or behavioural potential) due to experience. Approach that emphasizes the study of observable behaviour and the role of the environment as a determinant of behaviour. Basic kind of learning that involves associations between environmental stimuli and the orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)"s respo(cid:374)ses. Pavlov was a russian physiologist who found out (by accident) that dogs can formulate responses to neutral stimuli through a process called conditioning. He believed this finding generalized to humans and was one of the ways that humans learn. Knew that the us (unconditioned stimulus food_ triggers the ur (unconditioned response- salivation) Therefore, to condition dogs, he paired a neutral stimulus (sound of a bell) with food (us), to elicit the unconditioned response (ur) of salivation. The result was the sound of the bell (the neutral stimulus) produced salivation in dogs in the absence of food. These new salivary responses clearly were not inborn, so they must have been required through expirence.
