Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. Easier to learn things necessary for survival. Learning is a relatively permanent change in an organism"s behavior due to experience. We typically learn by association: two types of things co-occur (i. e. mom"s face over the crib = getting picked up, that an action will be associated with an outcome (i. e. if we cred, then we get fed) Involved the pairing of two previously unassociated events: getting new stimulus. Ivan pavlov was russia"s first nobel prize for digestion, not classical conditioning. Pavlov"s experiments: baseline: before conditioning, unconditioned stimulus produces unconditioned response. However the neutral stimulus does not: during conditioning, the ns and the us are paired, resulting in. After conditioning, the conditioned stimulus elicits conditioned response. When the us (food) does not follow the cs (tone), cr (salivation) begins to decrease and eventually causes extinction.
