Document Summary
Learning theory occurred of repeated practice because if it effects their behavior then that event is in there (repressed memory) The more or less permanent change in behaviour potentiality which occurs as a result. More or less permanent change if the change is not permanent then learning has not. There are times when you forget something but it doesn"t mean that it is not there. Pavlov and watson conditioned reflex method particular stimulus: this is based on reflexes, reflex: a biologically determined behavior that is always elicited by a, ex. If someone blows air in your eye, you will blink you will always: behavior is called respondent behavior because it responds to that particular blink because it is a reflex stimulus. So pavlov and watson will start with reflex learning and they will take that reflex and make it so that other stimulus will elicit that particular reflex (this is stimuli alone that would not normally elicit that behavior)
