2. Learning  Learning is a relatively permanent change in an organism's behaviour due to experience.  Our minds naturally connect events that occur in sequence.  Associative learning is linking two events that occur close together:  two stimuli  a response and its consequences

5. Classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov)

6. Classical conditioning  http://youtu.be/Eo7jcI8fAuI http://youtu.be/Eo7jcI8fAuI  Learning to associate two stimuli.  Learning that a previously neutral stimulus signals the onset of a stimulus that produces a reflex action or respondent behavior (automatic responses to some stimulus).

10. Operant conditioning (B. F. Skinner)  Learning to associate a response and its consequences (= operant behaviour; voluntarily behaviour that operates on the environment, producing consequences).  Law of Effect  Thorndike’s principle that behaviours followed by favourable consequences become more likely, and behaviours followed by unfavourable consequences become less likely.  http://youtu.be/H6LEcM0E0io

11. Operant conditioning: Reinforcement  Reinforcer: Any event that strengthens the behavior it follows.

12. Operant conditioning: Punishment  Punishment: Aversive event that decreases the behaviour that it follows.

13. Classical vs. operant conditioning

14. Observational learning (Albert Bandura)  Learning by observing others.  Modeling: Process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.  The Bobo doll experiment
