Document Summary
Define learning: any durable change in behaviour/knowledge due to experience, change must extend well beyond duration of experience. Learning: also logarithmic: easy to be ok at smt, hard to be an expert at smt because the more u learn, the flatter the curve gets, progression isnt as fast as the beginning. Define and give examples of habituation and sensitization: habituation: decrease in response after repeated presentations of stimuli, getting used to the noisy traffic outside your house. Sensitization: increased response after repeated presentations of stimuli: shouting at your sibling for repeatedly taking your things without asking. Correctly identify the ns, ucs, ucr, cs, and cr in a sample problem: ns: fork, ucs: food, ucr: salivation, cr: salivation when presented with only the fork but no food. Forward: ns appears first to predict the coming sound of ucs: trace: ns appears far ahead before ucs, backward: ucs presented before ns. Simultaneous: ns and ucs are presented at the same time.
