Document Summary

Learning process by which behavior or knowledge changes as a result of experience. Palov studied about how dogs start salivating even before they receive any food even when they just smell it. Digestive responses are more than just simple reflexes in response to food. Palov discovered classical conditioning learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus elicits a response that was originally caused by another stimulus; one event causes another; neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response. John watson studied what is observable, had the idea that you can tea(cid:272)h so(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g to so(cid:373)eo(cid:374)e that did(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ake a(cid:374)(cid:455) se(cid:374)se (cid:271)ut the(cid:455) (cid:272)ould still learn to be afraid if it. Problems of classical conditioning you cannot get the organism to do new behaviors. Unconditioned stimulus (us) reflexive, response without learning. Unconditioned response (ur) reflexive, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
