Document Summary

Change in an organism"s behavior or thought as a result of practice, study or experience. Non associative learning: learning that does not involve forming associations between stimuli; it is change resulting from experiences with a single sensory cue. Associative learning: a change as a result of experience where two or more stimuli become linked. Habituation: weakening of response to a stimulus after repeated presentation. Sensitization: a strong stimulus results in an exaggerated response to the subsequent presentation of weaker stimuli. Dishabituation: a recovery of attention to a novel stimulus following habituation. Simple association provided the mental building blocks for more complex ideas. Most famous for work on digestion of the dog. A form of learning in which the conditioned stimulus comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus. Neutral stimulus (ns): does not elicit a particular response ie tone.
