Document Summary

Learning basics: learning: relatively enduring change in behavior, resulting from experience, associations develop through conditioning, a process in which environmental stimuli and behavioral responses become connected, classical (pavlovian) conditioning, operant conditioning. Is classical conditioning permanent: acquisition is the initial learning through the paring of the two stimuli, extinction occurs when the learning effect has ceased, but there can still be a spontaneous recovery of the learning. Does lear(cid:374)i(cid:374)g (cid:862)carry over(cid:863): stimulus generalization: similar stimuli to the conditioned stimulus produce the conditioned response, stimulus discrimination: differentiation between two similar stimuli when one is consistently associated with an unconditioned stimulus. Classical conditioning & substance use: now let"s apply classical conditioning to drug/alcohol use, environmental cues become associated with drug use and will serve as co(cid:374)ditio(cid:374)ed sti(cid:373)uli i(cid:374) the future.
