LEARNING! “Classical Conditioning”

What is Learning?

Most learning is...

Associative Learning:

Realization that certain events

occur together.

Learning: A relatively durable

change in behavior or

knowledge that is due to

experience

★ Classical Conditioning ★ Operant Conditioning ★ Observational Learning (Latent, Abstract, Insight)

Classical Conditioning Ivan Pavlov developed the framework for CC: Learning to associate one stimulus with another, i.e. “Stimulus-to-Stimulus Learning”

“Next time there is a revolution,

get up earlier!”

Annenberg : Discovering Psychology: Program 8 - Learning.

We associate 2 stimuli: We see lightning... & then hear thunder. (speed of light is faster than the speed of sound) Lightning ... THUNDER Lightning ... THUNDER Lightning ... THUNDER Eventually, you see lightning and then flinch... anticipating the second stimulus. You have paired lightning & thunder. And you have learned that when there is lightning, thunder may follow.

Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. Conditioned Stimulus (CS): An originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association

with the UCS, comes to trigger

a response.
