Document Summary
Learning is based on experience and it produces changes in the organism: these changes are relatively permanent. Habituation the simple form of learning occurring in the central nervous system. Classical conditioning associated with pavlov: occurs when a neutral stimulus produces a response after being paired with a stimulus. Operant conditioning associated with thorndike and skinner: a type of learning in which the consequences of an organism behaviour determine whether it will be repeated in the future. Observational learning learning takes place by watching the actions of others. Something that reliably produces a naturally occurring reaction in an organism: A reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by an unconditioned stimulus.
