- 1definition of learningRelatively permanent change in a behavioral tendency that results from experience
- 2classical conditioningform of behavioral learning in which a stimulus that produces an innate reflex becomes associated with a neutral stimulus
- 3Ivan Pavlov studythe role of saliva in the digestion of dogs
UR: dog salivates in response to seeing food
Conditioning: every time the dog sees food, a bell is rung
Conditioned response: dog salivates in response to the bell ringing - 4unconditioned stimulusstimulus that elicits an unconditioned response
- 5unconditioned responseunlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus
- 6neutral stimulusstimulus that doesn't elicit a response; results in no reaction
- 7conditioned stimuluspreviously neutral stimulus that after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response
- 8conditioned responsean automatic (learned) response established by training to the previously neutral stimulus
- 9generalizationtendency for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit a similar response as the conditioned stimuli
- 10discriminationlearned ability to distinguish between CS and other stimuli that do not signal a US
- 11extinctionCR is no longer reinforced. Causes the behavior to stop
- 12Spontaneous recoverythe reappearance of a CR that had been extinguished
- 13operant conditioninga type of learning in which the frequency of a behavior depends on the consequence that follows that behavior. different from classical because rewards are given

- 29example of learned helplessnessbaby elephants tied up think that they can't escape when they're HUGE and can obviously break the rope
- 30observational learninga form of cognitive learning in which new responses are acquired after watching others' behavior and the consequences of their behavior
- 31modelthe person whose behavior the subject watched and imitates
- 32modelingthe process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
- 33bandora's bobo doll experimentafter watching adults hit a clown doll, children imitated the same behavior
