PSY 201 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Classical Conditioning, Learning, Observational Learning
Document Summary
Learning a relatively enduring change in behavior, resulting from experience. Nonassociative learning a response to something in the environment. Associative learning the linking of 2 events that, in general, take place one right after the other. Observational learning acquiring or changing a behavior after exposure to another individual performing that behavior. 6. 2 habituation and sensitization are models of nonassociative learning. Habituation a decrease in behavioral response after repeated exposure to a stimulus. Sensitization an increase in behavioral response after exposure to a stimulus. Classical conditioning / pavlovian conditioning a neutral stimulus elicits a response because it has become associated with a stimulus that already produces that response. Unconditioned response (or) unlearned, occurs without prior training and is an automatic behavior. Unconditioned stimulus (us) normally without training, before learning takes place the. Conditioned stimulus (cs) signal that something is present. Conditioned response (cr) a learned response. 6. 4 learning is acquired and persists until extinction.
