Document Summary

Associative learning- a change that occurs as the result of experiences that lead us to link two or more stimuli together. There are two major types of non associative learning: habituation- a form of learning where organisms decrease respond to a stimulus after repeated stimulus presentation. The animal/ human has learned to ignore something that is unimportant. Associative learning- occurs when we link two events that occur close together in time. A response normally evoke d by a neutral stimulus also comes to be elicited by a different stimulus. This type of conditioning was discovered by ivan petrovich pavloc, a russian physiologist. Conditioned taste aversion involves learning an association between a paricular food and a subsequent stomach illness. Thorndike"s law of effect is the behaviours leading to rewards are more likely to occur again, while behaviours producing unpleasantness are less likely to occur again. Memory is the faculty for recalling past events and past learning.
