Learning Theory - Animal Behaviour

Habituation is...

• An animal learning to respond to stimuli in their environment that have a consequence

• An animal learning to ignore stimuli in their environment that have no consequence to them

• Learning by association

• Where consequences drive future frequency of behaviour

Classical Conditioning is...

• Ignoring stimuli in their environment that have no consequence

• Resonding to stimuli in their environment that have a consequence

• Consequences drive future frequency of behaviour
