Document Summary
Learning: behaviour or knowledge change as a result of experience. Classical conditioning: learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus elicits a response that was originally caused by another stimulus: ex. Pavlov"s dog hear sound and it was paired with meat powder after a while hearing the sound made the dog think about meat salivation. Unconditioned stimulus (us): a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response without learning. Unconditioned response (ur): is a reflexive, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus: ex. The god naturally salivated when they see food: ur and us are not learned. Conditioned stimulus (cs): a neutral stimulus that later elicits a conditioned response because it had been paired with an unconditioned stimulus. Conditioned response (cr): learned response that occurs to the conditioned stimulus. Difference between cr and ur is what caused it to happen. It is ur if the dog is responding to food (us) It is cr if it is responding to tone (cs)
