Document Summary
If you don"t remember, you didn"t learn anything. Learning smt is a more/less results in behaviour potentiality: its as a result of repeated practice. The visible change in behaviour might be permanent/temp but the potentiality is current. Sometimes, the potentiality doesn"t have to be observable: there are aspects of behaviour (of visual development) that you don"t see, sometimes there is changes in the brain before in actions. Behaviour that you see from this reflex is called the respondent behaviour. When something appears, your attention/focus shifts the orienting reflex: elements of classical conditioning. Schematic of elements: learning happens with repeated practice, conditioned response occurs before the unconditioned response occurs, conditioned stimulus in time, before the unconditioned stimulus (critical, 2 graphs!! ^ 2 important elements that must occur. In operant conditioning, it"s the opposite way around: it"s the response and then the reinforcer. So operant behaviours are not reflexes but are behaviours that we naturally, often and voluntarily use.
