Document Summary
Relatively permanent change in behavior: experience and practice (doing homework) Can be very simple or very complex (leaning how to walk. Occurs when info moves from short term memory to long term memory. Simplest form of learning: impact of one stimulus (event) Orienting response and sensitization: novel stimuli automatically attract attention and case an exaggerated response, example: food, bright lights, when someone calls your name. Habituation: adapting to constant stimulation: e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple: (cid:449)he(cid:374) a(cid:374) air co(cid:374)ditio(cid:374)er ru(cid:374)s, (cid:455)ou"ll get used to it. Process by which 2 pieces of info from the environment are linked repeatedly linked so that we can connect them in our minds: e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple: treets=da(cid:374)ger, (cid:862)ho(cid:449)d(cid:455)(cid:863) Classical conditioning: learn from the relationship between stimuli (co-occur, happen together) Operant conditioning: leaning from the consequences of behavior. Started off with ian pavlov physiologist, studied digestive system of dogs. Discovered dogs are drooling with just a squeak of a door. Reflex: unlearned, involuntary response, it just happens.
