Document Summary

Learning is a relatively enduring change in behaviour that results from experience: when an organism benefits from an experience, so that the future behaviour is better adapted, ability to learn is crucial. Essence of learning is understanding how events are related: conditioning is when the environmental stimuli and behavioural response become connected. classical conditioning occurs when we learn that two types of events go together: walking in the rain + getting wet. operant conditioning occurs when we learn that a particular behaviour leads to particular outcome: studying + better grades. Watson: overt behaviour is the only way to study mental processes. Behaviorism: humans and animals are born as a blank slate able to learn anything. The environment and its associated effects on an organism were the sole determinants of learning: behavioural responses are conditioned. Salivary reflex: unlearned response that occurs when the stimulus of food is presented to an animal.
