Document Summary
Is a process by which behavior or knowledge changes as a result of experience. Reading, listening, and taking tests in order to acquire new information is known as cognitive learning. Another can be associative learning which will be explained soon. (229) A stimulus that elicits a reflexive response without learning. Ex: stimuli such as food, water, pain, or sexual contact. Is a reflexive, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus. Ex: hunger, drooling, expressions of pain and sexual responses. A once-neutral stimulus that later elicits a conditioned response because it has a history of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus. Such as the metronome with the dogs and salivation. Is the learned response that occurs to the conditioned stimulus. Salivation is a cr if it occurs in response to a cs (like the metronome). A cs can have this effect only if it becomes associated with a us.
