Document Summary

Module 20 basic learning concepts and classical conditioning. This process of learning associations is conditioning, and it takes 2 main forms: classical conditioning. We learn to associate two stimuli and thus to anticipate events. A stimulus evokes a response: operant conditioning. We learn to associate a response (our behaviour) and its consequence. Learn to repeat acts followed by good outcomes and avoid bad results. Through cognitive learning we acquire mental information that guides our behaviour: observational learning, one form of cognitive learning, lets us learn behaviours merely (cid:271)(cid:455) (cid:449)at(cid:272)hi(cid:374)g othe(cid:396)s" e(cid:454)pe(cid:396)ie(cid:374)(cid:272)es. 20-2 what a(cid:396)e the (cid:271)asi(cid:272) (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)ts of (cid:272)lassi(cid:272)al (cid:272)o(cid:374)ditio(cid:374)i(cid:374)g, a(cid:374)d (cid:449)hat (cid:449)as (cid:271)eha(cid:448)iou(cid:396)is(cid:373)"s (cid:448)ie(cid:449) of learning?
