Document Summary
Behaviour: is an activity of an organism that can be observed or somehow measured. The activity may be internal or external and may or may not be visible to others. Learning: is a relatively permanent change in behaviour hat results from some type of experience. Example: reading text is an example of behaviour and any lasting change in your behaviour as a result of reading this text is an example of learning. The change does not have to be immediate, in some cases the change may not be evident until a long period later. Classical conditioning: the process by which certain inborn behaviours come to be produced in new situations (reflexive or involuntary responses) ex. Pavlov example: bell + food = salivation; bell = salivation. Classical conditioning underlies many of out emotional responses, like and dislikes and it can lead to the development of debilitating fears and powerful feelings of sexual attraction.
