Document Summary
Learning any relatively permanent change in an organism"s behavior due to experience. Associative learning learning that two events occur together. Ivan pavlov was a pioneer of research on learning. His early research focused on digestive processes in dogs. He shifted his research to examine learning mechanisms when he discovered that dogs began to salivate in response to stimuli associated with receiving food. The learning exhibited by pavlov"s dogs is a type of associative learning called classical (or. Pavlov was the first persona to apply scientific method to. A reenactment shows ivan pavlov"s experiments on the salivation reflex in dogs. Pavlov found that dogs can be conditioned to salivate in response to a signal associated in response to a signal associated with the arrival of food, then to the signal alone. Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli. Acquisition: the initial learning stage of classical conditioning.
