Chapter 6: learning (associative learning & non-associative learning: associative learning. Inborn patterns of behaviour elicited by environmental stimuli. A relatively permanent change in behaviour or the capacity for behaviour that occurs due to experience. Change the magnitude of responses to a kind of stimulus. Learning by watching the actions & experience of another. Discovered laws of learning that apply to virtually all organisms. Explained learning solely in terms of directly observable events. Avoided unobservable mental states : behaviourism & associative learning. Occurs when we form connections among stimuli and/or behaviours. Based on internal responses to naturally occurring stimuli. Ex: the taste of a lemon will automatically make us like oooo . Ex: for infants, sugar (the ucr) and infants will smile and lick their lips (ucs) Ex: adult natural paring, the lemon (ucs), adults will pucker their lips (ucs) Ex: animal natural response, food (ucs), dogs will salivate and drool (ucr) Is a natural response no learning involved.
