Chapter Six : Learning

1. Non Associative Learning: changed response after multiple exposures to a stimulus

   • Habituation
   • Sensitization

2. Associative: Link together two events or stimuli that occur together

   • Classical Conditioning
     • Conditioned Behavioral Responses (US,UR,CS,CR)
       • Acquisition
       • Extinction
         • Spontaneous Recovery
       • Generalization and Discrimination
       • Phobias, Fear Conditioning, Counter Conditioning
     • Second Order Conditioning : when a conditioned response becomes associated with other stimuli associated with the unconditioned stimulus
     • Evolutionary: 1. Conditioned Taste Aversion 2. Biological Preparedness
   • Operant Conditioning : consequences of an action determine likelihood that it will be repeated. Determined by enforcement.
     • Positive Punishment : give a stimulus
     • Negative Punishment : take away stimulus
     • Shaping: an operant conditioning technique to reinforce behaviors close to desired behavior

3. Observational Learning: acquiring and or changing behavior after seeing someone else do it

   • Vicarious Learning : learn a behavior after seeing it be reinforced/punished
   • Modeling : imitation of observed behavior. Usually of someone one looks up to, also called social learning
