Document Summary
Learning a relatively permanent change in behaviour, as the result of experience. Habituation out responses to repetitive stimuli decrease. We have learned not to notice clothing against our skin. Sensitization our responses to novel or salient stimuli increases. A rustle in the bushes increase our alertness. Classical conditioning learning that occurs when neural stimuli elicits a response originally caused by another stimulus. The taste of a lemon makes you salivate at one sound just the smell or sight of a lemon makes you salivate. Conditioned reflex: salivating when you anticipate food. Unconditioned stimulus (us) a stimulus that elicits a reflective response. Unconditioned response (ur) reflective response to the us (ex. Conditioned stimulus (cr) neural stimulus that later elicits a conditioned response because it has history being associated with the us. Conditioned response (cs) must be learned; it resembles the ur, but it occurs after training (salivating is also an example here, but it must have been learned later on)
