Document Summary
Ref: gray, p. & bjorklund, d. f. (2014), psychology (7th ed. ). Learned process that creates new reflexes (a simple, automatic, stimulus-response sequence mediated by the nervous system). Messages carried by nerves from the eyes, ears, skin, or other sensory organs enter the spinal cord or brain and act there to produce messages in nerves running outward to muscles and glands. An effect of experience on reflexes is habituation: a decline in the magnitude of a reflexive response when the stimulus is repeated several times in succession. Habituation is one of the simplest forms of learning. It does not produce a new stimulus response sequence but only weakens an already existing one. Classical conditioning, in contrast, is a form of reflex learning that does produce a new stimulus response sequence. Permanently implanted tubes to collect salivary and stomach juices dogs salivate differently when different kinds of food are placed in its mouth.
