Document Summary
Name and describe the two fundamental forms of learning and how do they differ from each other. Classical conditioning: a natural or inborn behaviour coming to be produced in new situations after being associated with a stimulus. Operant conditioning: behaviour that is strengthened or weakened as a result of consequences. Nativist approach assumes someone"s abilities and tendencies are largely inborn. Empiricist approach assumes someone"s abilities and tendencies are mostly learned. Picasso being such a great artist could be described by a nativist in which. Picasso was naturally a great artist, whereas he could be described by an empiricist in which he learned artistic abilities: name and describe the four laws of association. The law of similarity: events are readily associated to each other if they are similar. The law of contrast: events are readily associated to each other if they are opposite.
