Document Summary
A relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, capability, or attitude acquired through experience and cannot be attributed to illness, injury, or maturation. Hippocampus is important for trace conditioning but not delay conditioning. Cerebellum (part of hindbrain, important role in motor skills and learning) is important in both trace and delay conditioning. Mirror neurons in the frontal and parietal lobes. Activity of neurons in the medial forebrain bundle contributes to the process of reinforcement. Punishment does not help form the basis of observational learning. Having bad experience of a particular type of food and developing a lifelong aversion to is suggest that conditioning has a evolutionary aspect. Watson and rayner sought to demonstrate that even sophisticated behaviors such as emotion are subject to classical conditioning through the little albert experiment.
