Learning- what is it: relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience, experience affecting future behaviour. Predictable: a stimulus that was initially neutral. Naturally elicits a response: unconditioned response (ur) Often a reflex: conditioned, conditioned stimulus (cs) Comes to elicit a response because it is associated with us: conditioned response (cr) Ivan pavlov: russian physiologist, discovered/described classical conditioning, classical= pavlovian conditioning. Key features: contiguity, two stimuli presented close in time, one after the other, contingency, the order between stimuli is important, one stimulus predicts the other. Cs before us: best condition, close in time, cs before us, weak or no condition, cs and us simultaneously, us before cs = backwards conditioning.
