Document Summary
Biological basis of learning: part ii: attention & memory. Learning: conditioning: the essence of learning is understanding how events are related, conditioning: a process in which environmental stimuli and behavioural responses become connected. Classical (or pavlovian) conditioning: occurs when we learn that two types of events go together. Operant (or instrumental) conditioning: occurs when we learn that a behaviour leads to a particular outcome. Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a reflexive response because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response, key terms: Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a reflexive response because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Classical conditioning: second-order conditioning: when something is consistently paired with the conditioned stimulus, without the unconditioned stimulus, and leads to a conditioned response.
