Document Summary

John locke and david hume supported aristotle"s conclusion that we learn by association. Associative learning: learning that certain events occur together this may be by two events (stimuli) happening together or a response to another action (consequence: two stimuli classical conditions, consequences operant conditioning. Examples: give red pen rather than black pen and marker will see more errors and give a lower grade. If voting in a school then people will vote for a party that support tax aids to schools. Classical conditioning two stimulus the evokes a response therefore classical conditioning in learning by stimulus: respondent behavior: automatic response to stimulus. Operant conditioning leads to operant behavior, where we learn by consequence like reward. The beep on a pager to train dogs and cattle told them that food was arriving (classical conditioning), but also learned their hustle to the food area was going to bring them pleasure (operant condition). Operant conditioning please, gets a treat (consequence), behavior becomes strengthened.
