Learning- the process of acquiring through experiences new and relatively enduring information or behaviors Associative learning- learning that two events occur together - Events may be two stimuli (classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (operant conditioning) - The associations may be positive or negative - Tend to connect positive events when they occur in sequence - - ex) if you hang out with a certain person at lunch and have a positive experience, the next time they ask you to hang out, you will because you associate them with the positive experience. Tend to connect negative events when they occur with in sequence ex) it you burn your hand on a hot stove, you will associate the stove with the pain and be more careful next time Learned associations feed our habitual behaviors Classical conditioning- associate two stimuli and thus to anticipate events - Stimuli are things we do not control and that we respond automatically (involuntary responses) Operant conditioning- learn to associate a response and its consequences - Behavior is voluntary, we operate on the environment to produce a consequence Habituation- type of learning or relatively permanent changes in behavior that involves a reduced response as a result of repeated but not constant exposure Sensory adaption- perceptual phenomenon that occurs when the brain stops recognizing a constant and unchanging stimulus Stimulus- any event or situation that evokes a response Response- the behavior that follows the stimulus Classical conditioning- type of associative learning that involves learned involuntary responses Respondent behavior- associate stimuli that we do not control, and we respond automatically Operant conditioning- associate a response and its consequences Operant behaviors- learn to repeat voluntary acts followed by good results and avoid voluntary acts followed by bad results
