Document Summary
Learning is gaining skills/knowledge/responses from experience, resulting in relatively permanent changes in behaviour. Leaning is based on experience, it can produce change in the organism, some changes are permanentnt. Memory is the ability to store and retrieve information over time. Behaviorists viewed learning as a purely behavioural activity requiring no mental activity. Habituation: a general process in which repeated exposure to a stimulus results in a gradual reduction in responding. Sensitization: when presentation of a noxious stimulus leads to an increased response to a later stimulus. Classical conditioning: when a neutral stimulus produces a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally produces a response. acquisition: the phase of classical conditioning when the cs and the us are presented together. Spontaneous recovery: cr happens again after extinction process. Second order conditioning: conditioning where a new, neutral cs is paired with a stimulus that became associated with the us in an earlier procedure.
