Document Summary
A relatively permanent change in behavior and understanding due to experience. Associative: when you learn that a is paired with b. Ex. when you touch a stove and get burned. Learning results from the influence of one particular stimulus. Not the result of learning to associate one stimulus with another. You don"t get candy every time you eat broccoli. If we have something that is bad, we have an extreme reaction to it. Habituation: decreases responsive to unchanging stimuli overtime. Sensitization: leads to exaggerated responses to unexpected events. Unconditional stimulus: what you give the person. Unconditioned stimulus: what happens without them knowing. Neutral stimulus turns into condition stimulus after a period of time. So now after a time period every time the neutral stimulus goes off, they do the unconditional stimulus. Extinction: losing the acquired association with the stimulus. Reconditioning: relearning acquired behavior is faster than original conditioning. Stimulus generalization: same condition response that resembles the original response.
