Document Summary
We don"t learn in the same way, there are multiple ways to learn. Learning: the acquisition from experience of new knowledge, skills, or responses in relatively permanent change in the state of the learner. Three essential features of learning: based on experience, produces changes in the organism (could be an animal, these changes are relatively permanent. Classical conditioning (reactive) (focus on involuntary behaviors) eye blinking, salivating, other involuntary, natural reactive body responses. Classical conditioning: occurs when a neutral stimulus produces a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally produces a response. Ivan pavlov: initial tone of bell experience was a neutral stimulus; however, after repetitively pairing the tone on the bell and the meat the animal learned to salivated to the tone of the bell. The tone of the bell was no longer neutral; it become a conditioned stimulus. Wednesday, october 3, 2018: unconditioned stimulus (us), reliable produces a naturally occurring reaction.
