Learning
● A relatively permanent change in
behavior brought about by
experience or practice
● Continuous process
● Largely results from nurture
○ Maturation enables certain BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CONDITIONING
skills due to enhanced 1. Order of stimulus presentation
physical capability 2. Intensity (effectivity) of unconditioned
stimulus
MAJOR TYPES OF LEARNING 3. Distinct conditioned stimulus
● Classical Conditioning 4. Frequency of pairing Conditioned
● Operant Conditioning Stimulus and Unconditioned Stimulus
● Cognitive Learning Theory

Classical Conditioning ● Unconditioned response
● A neutral stimulus comes to bring ● Conditioned stimulus

PSYCH 101 NOTES
● An extinct response can sometimes
reemerge after a period of time
● Without further conditioning
● The response may be physically
present in the brain through memory
Higher-order conditioning
● Occurs when a strong conditioned
stimulus is paired with a new neutral
stimulus
● New NS becomes a second CS
