PSYCH 111 Lecture 6: Lecture 6: Learning
Document Summary
Any relative permanent change in behavior that occurs because of experience. A kind of learning that involves associations between environmental stimuli and responses. The organism learns to associate two stimuli. One produces a response that originally was only produced by the other. Originally neutral stimulus that elicits a behavior after being paired with a us (bell) Response elicited by the conditioned stimulus (salivate to bell) Phase of classical conditioning when the us and cs are paired together. Repeat the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus over time and the conditioned response will disappear. Stop doing metronome and shock, dog stops freaking out when you just. After a response has been extinguished it may spontaneously reappear after the passage of time with exposure to the conditioned stimulus. Pairing a neutral stimulus with the conditioned stimulus will create another conditioned stimulus, although a weaker conditioned response, more likely to show extinction (food with bell, bell with light)
