Document Summary

We use this type of learning pre language. We you become used to the stimulus or information you do not respond to it. The dog associates the lab coat/bell with food and so he begins to salivates. Extinction: consistently produce the cs however there is no ucs presented with it. Ex: sound the tone but never present the food. Spontaneous recovery: return to the same location where the behaviour was learned, even if it is extinct it will return spontaneously. Stimulus generalization: the subject will have his cr even if it is not the exact cs, it just needs to be similar. Stimulus discrimination: being able to discriminate between different cs. Which is learning from other people"s experiences and incorporate them into our own. Ex: watching movies about lions attacking people=having a phobia of lions. Inject animals which causes immune system to be supressed, at the same time a stimulus is presented.
