Document Summary
Lecture guide chapter 7: learning (explanation, prediction, intervention) Based in part on the text: exploring psychology: by myers and dewall (10th edition) Change in behavior (or knowledge) due to experience (ability to profit from experience) Learning vs. maturation (pre-programmed changes we see due to genetics) A new trigger for an old response. Think voluntary - you do to get a reward/avoid punishment. Learn by watching copy others: things to know about classical conditioning. Learn to make an old response to a new stimulus. Four components of classical conditioning: (unconditioned means: (before training) (occurs naturally) (meaningful)) (conditioned means: (learned) (trained): unconditioned stimulus (us) - Original cause of the response: unconditioned response (ur) . The only thing- the original pair (us &ur) Biological (blinking, sweating, drooling) or emotional (fear, excitement) in nature. Learned trigger (used to be neutral) (becomes associated with us) (new cause: conditioned response (cr) . Same response but do now for new reason.
