Learning ⚫ The acquisition of knowledge or skill ⚫ Types of learning • Non-associative – Habituation, sensitization • Associative – Classical conditioning – Operant Conditioning
Nonassociative No paired stimulus/response habituation repeated exposure to a stimulus results in reduced responding to that stimulus generally neutral, non-noxious stimuli sensitization
Nonassociative ⚫No paired stimulus/response –habituation • repeated exposure to a stimulus results in reduced responding to that stimulus • generally neutral, non-noxious stimuli – sensitization
Associative o Paired stimulus/response classical conditioning (two stimuli are paired when the light shines-----get food operant conditioning( stimuli and response are paired; push lever= food
Associative ⚫Paired stimulus/response – classical conditioning (two stimuli are paired; when the light shines ----- get food) – operant conditioning (stimuli and response are paired; push lever = food
Classical Conditioning o Conditioned stimuli (no overt response) and unconditioned stimuli(gives an overt response not simply timing of events relative to each other we can detect a positive correlation between two stimuli(efficiency of pairing) Extinction can occur over time(unpaired
Classical Conditioning ⚫ Conditioned stimuli (no overt response) and unconditioned stimuli (gives an overt response) – not simply timing of events relative to each other – we can detect a positive correlation between two stimuli (efficiency of pairing) – Extinction can occur over time (unpaired)
