PSY 0010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Implicit Learning, Classical Conditioning, Little Albert Experiment
Document Summary
Learning: experience that results in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner. There are 2 main approaches to learning: classical conditioning: a reflexive or automatic type of learning in which a stimulus evokes a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus, operant conditioning: Other types of learning include; observational learning and learning outside of awareness (implicit learning) Pavlov"s apparatus for studying classical conditioning: interested in physiology especially digestion, experimented with dogs connect thing to them that measured their saliva. Every time it was time for the dogs to eat they would salivate. Unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response: 2. Neutral stimulus no unconditioned response: 3. During conditioning conditioned stimulus + unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response: 4. After conditioning conditioned stimulus conditioned response classical conditioning: pavlov"s experiment: Not doing a new behavior, associating with something that already exists = classical conditioning: examples: Before you go in for a chemo treatment, they often give you a distinctive food to eat.
