Document Summary

The initial stage in classical conditioning; the phase associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neural stimulus comes to elicit a conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the straightening of a reinforced response: discrimination, extinction, antisocial behaviour. Negative, unhelpful behaviour: associative learning, behaviourism, bobo doll, classical conditioning, cognitive map, conditioned/secondary. Reinforcement: delayed reinforcer, describe the timing requirements for the initial learning of a stimulus-response relationship. Learning to associate two stimuli (classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (operant conditioning) The view that psychology 1- should be an objective science that 2- studies behaviour without reference to mental processes. Most people today believe 1 but not 2. Kids observe woman punching doll and imitate the same aggressive behaviour. A type of learning where an organism comes to associate stimuli (also called pavlovian or respondent conditioning)
