Document Summary

Counter conditioning: a learned response is reversed (ie. little albert associating positive stimulus with rabbit) in order to produce an opposite reaction. Learning doesn"t mean any change in behaviour but is an enduring change in the mechanisms of behaviour involving specific stimuli and/or responses that result from prior experience or similar stimuli and responses. ex. Little albert learned to fear all things fluffy because he was taught to fear a white rabbit. It is up the the individual to associate similar stimuli . Change being an internal readjustment in a way of thinking. Learning can occur without a change in behaviour, behaviour change can occur without learning.
