Document Summary

Learning: relatively enduring change in behaviour, one that results from experience: essence of learning= understanding how events are related, associations develop through conditioning- process in which environmental stimuli and behavioural responses become connected. Interested in salivary reflex- realized that unlike inborn reflexes, salivation is not automatic and therefore must have been acquired through experience. Acquisition: gradual formation of an association b/t conditioned and unconditioned stimuli: critical element in acquisition of learned association= stimuli occur together in time, (contiguity) generally with a very brief delay b/t cs & us. Extinction: process in which conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeated w/o unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery: process in which previously extinguished response re-emerges following presentation of the conditioned stimulus. * extinction inhibits associative bond but does not eliminate it. Stimulus generalization: occurs when stimuli similar but not identical to cs produces. Cr: adaptive in nature, cs never experienced in same exact way.
