Document Summary
Behaviour of organisms separated into three major categories: reflexes: involuntary response to a stimulu, instinct: stereotyped pattern of behaviour elicited by particular environmental stimuli, learning: relatively permanent change in behaviour or capacity for behaviour due to exp. Associative learning: type of learning that involves formation of a connection between two elements or events. Nonassociative learning: type of learning that involves change in magnitude of responses to stimuli rather than formation of connections between elements or events. Habituation: type of learning in which response to repeated, harmless stimulus becomes progressively weaker sensitization: type of learning in which experience of one stimulus heightens response to subsequent stimuli. Unconditioned stimulus (ucs): event that elicits a response w/out prior exp. Unconditioned response (ucr): event that elicits a response w/out prior experience. Using invertebrates to study learning research relied on sea slug, aplysia californica: invertebrate sea slug frequently used as subject of experiments on learning and memory it"s anatomy.
