Document Summary

Learning: a relatively permanent change in behaviours, cognition, emotions, as a result of experiences. And as a results of those experiences, our behvaiours, cognition, emotions change because of them. It is because of learning that we are able to adapt to things, and are flexible. Even though you grow up and learn bad things, you can still change, through learning new ways! It is the process by which we learn and for associations. With this process, we learn to associate two events with two stimulis. One event signals and predicts the arrival of another event. Pavlov is a known person in psychology, but he is not a psychologist. He leanred to make this association with the dogs seeing a man in a lab coat bringing them food. Pavlov wanted to know, if he could make the dog salivate at the sound of the bell.
