Document Summary
Learning: a change in an organism"s behavior or thought as a result of experience. There are several different types of learning. Psy113 chapter 6: learning: habituation: process of responding less strongly over time to repeated stimuli. It is the simplest and earliest form of learning in humans because it makes a good adaptive sense: sensitization: process of responding more strongly over time to repeated stimuli. In some cases, this is due to a repeat exposure to stimuli that do not led to habituation. It occurs more likely when a stimulus is dangerous, irritating or both. Lo 6. 1: describe pavlov"s model of classical conditioning and discriminate conditioned stimuli and responses from unconditioned stimuli and responses. A great deal of learning depends on associating one thing with another. If we don"t learn to connect one stimulus with another, our world would be of disconnected sensory experience. The british association believed that we acquire most knowledge via conditioning forming associations among stimuli.
