Document Summary
Review questions: name and briefly describe the two fundamental forms of learning emphasized in this textbook. Certain inborn behaviors are produced in new situations. In classical conditioning, behaviors are natural or involuntary. For example, a dog salivates at the sound of a bell because the bell was previously associated with food, neal was recently stung by a wasp and is now quite fearful of wasps etc. Behaviors are strengthened or weakened as a result of consequences. These behaviors are usually goal-directed or voluntary: describe the nativist versus empiricist approaches to knowledge. Nativist: (nature) a person"s abilities/tendencies are mostly inborn. Empiricist: (nurture) a person"s abilities/tendencies are mostly learned through experience. Picasso practiced and became a great artist: name and briefly describe the four laws of association.
