Focusing upon explaining the behaviour and predicting future behaviour. attempt to relate units of behaviour, called responses, to units of the: evolutionary theories would focus on the adaptive aspects of learning to survival. Organisms that were able to learn were able to survive in a changing environment. Our attention is drawn to a novel stimulus: orienting response, habituation. Not necessarily the same stimulus. (horror movie creaking floor) Learning not to respond to an unimportant event that occurs repeatedly. Based on some prior stimulus, we become more responsive (more. The result of stimuli that are presented quickly in a short period. Results when stimuli are spread over a longer period.
