Document Summary
Process by which experience produces a relatively enduring change in behaviour or capabilities (knowing how) 2 perspectives for understanding how learning occurs: behaviourism. Discovered laws of learning that apply virtually all organisms. Treated organism as tabula rasa (blank slate) no other things have been learned before, we start blank. Explained learning solely in terms of directly observable events. Respondent conditioning (classical/pavolian conditioning: based on internal responses to naturally occurring stimuli (sucking on a lemon and natural response is to get saliva or when in heat, muscles naturally relax) Stimulus that elicits a reflexive or innate, unconditioned response without prior learning (lemon: ucs = unconditioned stimulus, ucr = unconditioned response. Reflexive or innate response elicited by the ucs without prior learning (sucker face after lemon: cs = conditioned stimulus. Stimulus that through association with the ucs, comes to elicit a conditioned response similar to the original ucr (ex. training you with a sound to do something: cr = conditioned response.
