Document Summary
Process of acquiring through experience new info or behavior. ** environment shapes our behavior and new behavior. Through association: certain events occur together (classical conditioning, association between a response and consequences is learned (operant conditioning) Classical conditioning: type of associative learning n which one learns to link (associate!) two stimuli together and anticipate events. Ivan pavlov: experiments with dogs, found that salivation occurred when eating food, but also in response to what should have been neutral stimuli that occurred before food, such as: Seeing food, seeing dish, seeing person who brings food, hearing person"s footsteps. Any stimulus can evoke any response that an organism can make. Neutral stimulus: would not usually trigger response on its own without learning. Importance: conditioned stimulus will illicit reaction of unconditioned stimulus. Unconditioned stimulus: stimulus that causes a response naturally without conditioning (sun) Unconditioned response: natural reaction to unconditioned stimulus (squinting from sun)
