Chapter 8 Learning- relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience Associative learning- learning that two events occur together or in a sequence; 2 stimuli; response and its consequences “learning to associate 2 events or 2 stimuli 2 external events We learn by association (Locke, Aristotle, Homer Classical conditioning- learn to associate a 2 stimuli and thus to anticipate events; Ex: Lightingthunder Ivan Pavlov (1899-1936)- Russian physician; studied digestive system; organism comes to associate 2 stimuli; neural stimulus that signals an unconditioned and begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for unconditioned stimulus. Unconditioned response (UR)-salivation is unlearned Ex: food in mouth Unconditioned Stimulus (US)-food in mouth *salivation is the conditioned reflex Stimulus- anything effectively impinging upon any of the sensory apparatus of a living organism, including physical phenomena Behaviorism-view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior w/out reference to mental processes; John B. Watson came up w/ coffee break; objective science Unconditioned Response- (UCR)- naturally occurring response to the stimulus Ex: salivation when food is put in mouth not a conscious process; Neural no reaction CS conditional response Unconditioned Stimulus- (UCS)- unconditionally, automatically, and neutrally triggers a response Conditioned response (CR)- Acquisition; initial stage in classical conditioning; phase associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neural comes to elicit a conditioned response; operant conditioning, strengthening, reinforced response; learned response to a previously neural stimulus Conditioned Stimulus (CS)- originally irrelevant stimulus that after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to trigger a conditioned response ConditionedLearned UnconditionedUnlearned Pavlov’s demonstration of associative...
