Learning

1. Conditioning

   • Opperant conditioning: a type of conditioning in which the strength behaviors are modified by the consequences, to that behavior such as rewarding or punishing. The behavior is controlled by discriminative stimuli which emit the responses.
     • Law of effect: "responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce a discomforting effect become less likely to occur again in that situation."
   • Classical conditioning: Learning new behavior through the complex process of association
     • Conditioned stimulus: previously neutral stimulus that after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.
       • Unconditioned stimulus: Natural response that unconditionally, naturally and automatically triggers a response
     • Pavlov's dog
   • Schedule of reinforcement: A rule stating which instances of a behavior will be reinforced. Can be every time it occurs, normally on a set pattern.

2. Observational learning: The process of learning through watching others. The information is retained, and then later replicated through the behaviors that were observed.

3. Durable change in behaviour due to knowledge acquired
