Document Summary
The process by which experience produces a relatively enduring (has to occur over time) change in behaviour or capability (knowing how) Behaviourism: it is on how orgasims learn (not just humans or animals) it"s a fundamental law. Want law of learning that apply to all organisms. Conditioning is how we train people -> product of our environment (environment as in the people around you) Behaviours changes due to association of two stimuli (cs-ucs) presented prioir to the response (cr) The association of the stimulus first and then response. Based on internal responses to naturally occurring things in your environment ex. if you imagine there is a lemon coming towards your mouth -> the instant/ natural reaction is that you pucker. When we pair things that don"t have a value/ different value with naturally occurring pairings, the value free or differently valued item will come to take on a new meaning: associations are created, ucs unconditioned stimulous.
