Document Summary

Valence, how good or bad, do this all the time. What would we be like if we do not learn from experience. Do not do the same mistake someone else has made from sight. Steps for classical conditioning before conditioning: food( unconditioned stimulus (us) response on salivation ( unconditioned response (ur) Tuning fork must be neutral stimulus ( no response from dog) Acquisition, learning from something that is meaningful. If the tuning for does no longer means food, ten the stimulus drops. When the neutral stimulus have no value it is called extinction, it has been lost. Even extinction happened, but still remember and has a response: still meaning. Learning occurred after extinction: spontaneous occur remember, but gets weaker every time. Generalization- respond to similar stimulus the same way: everything that seems to be rewarding, they will check it out, might be rewarding as well, similar situations. Discrimination respond to one stimuli only.
