Learning
How do we learn? Two types of associative learning: Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning Other types of learning: Cognitive learning Observational learning
Classical Conditioning Major People: Ivan Pavlov John Watson Pioneers of behaviorism The view that psychology Should be an objective science Studies behavior without reference to mental processes
Classical Conditioning A condition where one learns to links two or more stimuli to anticipate events Learning to make a reflex response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally produces the reflex.

Classical Conditioning Although classical conditioning happens quite easily, there are a few basic principles that researchers have discovered: The UR (unconditioned response) and CR (conditioned response) are essentially the same – salivation. The CS (conditioned stimulus) must precede the US (unconditioned stimulus) in order for conditioning to occur – bell can’t follow food.
Classical Conditioning Check for understanding: An experimenter sounds a tone just before delivering an air puff to your blinking eye. After several repetitions, you blink to the tone alone. NS = US = UR = CS = CR = tone before procedure air puff blink to air puff tone after procedure blink to tone
