Document Summary

John locke and david hume also believed aristotle"s conclusion that we learn by association. The events may be two stimuli (as in response and its consequence) (as in operant conditioning) Classical conditioning: we learn to associate two stimuli and thus to anticipate events. A type of learning in which are learn to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. Operant conditioning: we learn to associate a response (our behaviour) and its consequence. Thus we (and other animals) learn to repeat acts followed by good results and avoid acts followed by bad results. Observational learning: lets us learn from other"s experience. Behaviourism: the view that psychology (1) should be on objective science that (2) studies behaviour without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2) Respondent behavior: behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus. Neutral stimulus (ns): in classical conditioning stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.
