Document Summary
Two processes of change in our development: maturation and learning. Learning = a process by which behaviour or knowledge changes as a result of experience: allows us to adapt to the environment, three types of learning: By observing events and the behaviour of others. By using language to acquire information about events experienced by others. Basics of classical conditioning: pavlov"s discovery, while studying digestion in dogs, ivan pavlov found that salivation was eventually triggered by neutral stimuli that predicted the arrival of food, such as: If the us stops appearing after the cs, then the cr decreases: after extinction, spontaneous recovery may occur, or a return of the cr despite no further conditioning, very likely to occur following a period of rest. This animal has two memory about the cs. Lets say this animal was trained that with a 12000 hz tone they will be fed.
