PSYC 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Certified Emission Reduction, Classical Conditioning, Behaviorism
Document Summary
A relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience. Linking two events that occur close together in time. Studies behaviours without taking mental processes into account. A type of learning where we learn to associate two stimuli and anticipate events. John watson applied principles of classical conditions to humans. Believed human emotions / behaviours are merely a bundle of conditioned responses (conditioned emotional reactions or cers) Can be broken down into 5 steps. The initial learning of the stimulus-response (s-r) relationship. As the ns and the us are paired more often, the. The diminished cr when an us no longer follows the cs. The reappearance of a weakened cr after a pause. Once a response has been conditioned, the tendency to response a similar way to stimuli similar to the cs.
