Module 35 what is learning
Leaning: many of our behaviors result from our particular experiences
in life
Filter stimuli: we learn to unimportant stimuli (not to waste resources)
and to attend to important ones (could be beneficial or harmful)
Adapt: predict and prepare for biologically important events
Non – associative learning: change in unlearned behavior with
repeated exposure to the same stimulus
-decreased in behavior (habituation)
-increased in behavior (sensitization)
Habituation: a form of non-associative learning where by repeated
presentation of stimulus leads to a reduction in response. The initial
response does not require learning.
Dishabituation: a form of non-associative learning whereby there is a
recovery of attention to a novel stimulus following habituation. Full
strength recovery of habituated response in presence of a novel
stimulus.
Sensitization: a form of non-associative learning whereby a strong
stimulus results in an exaggerated response to the subsequent
presentation of weaker stimuli. Increased response to a repeated
stimulus
Associative learning- involves new “connection” between two things
-between two stimuli and wat follows (operant conditioning)
-between your behavior and what follows (operant
conditioning)
observational learning: changes in behavior by watching others
other: latent learning and insight
Module 36 classical conditioning
Conditioning: the association of events in the environment

Leaning: many of our behaviors result from our particular experiences in life.

Decreased in behavior (habituation) increased in behavior (sensitization) Habituation: a form of non-associative learning where by repeated presentation of stimulus leads to a reduction in response.
