Learning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning (ch 7 p. 245-271) What is learning? learning: acquiring, through experience, new information or behaviors lear(cid:374)ed i(cid:374)for(cid:373)atio(cid:374) is (cid:862)relati(cid:448)el(cid:455) e(cid:374)duri(cid:374)g(cid:863), (cid:373)ea(cid:374)i(cid:374)g that o(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:449)e lear(cid:374) it, it"s i(cid:374) our minds for a long time. Different types of learning associative learning cognitive learning.
