Document Summary
Learning: is a process by which behaviour or knowledge changes as a result of experience: cognitive learning: the activities individuals do to acquire new information (ex. If dogs salivate in anticipation of food, then the salivary response can also be learned psychic secretions: conducted an experiment: Presented a sound from a metronome along with the meat powder to the dogs. Served as one of the foundations of behaviourism: terms for classical conditioning: Stimulus: an external event or cue that elicits a response. Unconditioned stimulus (us): a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response without learning/ conditioning (meat powder eliciting salivation) Unconditioned response (ur): is a reflective, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus (salivation from meat powder) Neutral stimulus: a stimulus that does not elicit a response. Conditioned stimulus (cs): a once neutral stimulus that later elicits a conditioned response because it has a history of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
