7. 1. What is Learning? A relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, capability, or attitude that is acquired through experience and cannot be attributed to illness, injury, or maturation.
Behaviorist Perspective
A relatively permanent change in behavior that arises from practice or experience
Cognitive Perspective
Mental change that may or may not be associated with changes in behavior
8. 2. Classical Conditioning Basic types of learning: CC; OC
CC-Simple form of associative learning that enables organisms to anticipate events, or to associate one stimulus with another.
Previously neutral stimulus (CS) comes to elicit the response evoked by a second stimulus (UCS) as a result of repeatedly being paired with the second stimulus (e.g., thunder storm)
9. 3. Contribution of Ivan Pavlov While studying salivation in dogs, Pavlov happened upon the principles of conditioning
Reflex- involuntary response to a particular stimulus can be unlearned (or unconditioned) and learned (or conditioned) through association
Unconditioned Reflexes
-food (UCS) -salivations (UCR)
-loud noise -startle response
-light in eye -contraction of pupil
-puff of air in eye -eyeblink response Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) organized and directed research in physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg, Russia.
