Learning an enduring change in behavior, resulting from experience: critical for animals" b/c survival (food, shelter, etc. ) Rise of learning theory in early 20th century b/c dissatisfaction w/ introspection. Classical conditioning (pavlovian conditioning) a type of learned response that occurs when a neutral object comes to elicit a reflexive response when it is associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Pavlov"s experiments: experimented w/ food stimulus: salivary reflex automatic, unlearned response, occurs when food stimulus present to hungry animal. Realized animal salivated when experimenter entered room. Response not innate, must be acquire through experience: neutral stimulus unrelated to reflex, ex. metronome, conditioning trail present neutral stimulus w/ stimulus that reliably produce reflex. Presentation repeated number of times: critical trails only neutral stimulus remains, reflex measured. Conclude neutral stimulus alone elicits reflexive response b/c associated w/ stimulus that reliably produce reflex: unconditioned response (ur) a response that does not have to be learned, w/o training, such as a reflex.
