Learning

Most learning associative learning
* learning that certain events occur together

Three main types of learning

*classical Conditioning
* it started with Ivan Pavlov

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response

Unconditional Response (UCR): the unlearned naturally occuring response to the UCS

Conditioned Stimulus (CS): An originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger response.

Conditioned Response (CR): the learned response to previously neutral stimulus.

Aquisition
* the Initial stage of learning
* the phrase where the neutral stimulus is associated with the UCS so that the neutral stimulus comes to elicit the CR ( thus becoming the CS )

Extinction
*The diminishing of a conditional response

Spontaneous Recovery
* The reapperearance. After a rest period of an extinuished conditioned response.

Generalization
*The tendency, once a response has been conditioned for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses.

Discrimination
*the learned ability to dishinguish between CS and other stimuli that does not signal UCS.
