Psychology Lesson 4: Learning

What is Learning?

• Bottom-Up process in which sensory data is collected

• Learning is defined as a permanent change in behavior  or knowledge that occurs as a result of experience.

• Top-down process where we attach meaning to describe an environmental stimuli

• How information is transferred from the spinal cord to the brain

Associative learning occurs when..........

• the occipital lobe helps you to see clearly the environmental stimuli that you are paying attention to.

• two opposite objects crash.

• an organism makes connections between stimuli or events that occur together in the environment.

• hormones are released by the endocrine system into the bloodstream.

Who discovered classical conditioning?

• Carl Rogers

• Ivan Pavlov

• Sigmund Freud

• Abraham Maslow

A unconditioned stimulus is..........

• a stimulus that elicits a reflextive response

• a natural unlearned response to a stimulus

• when your heatbeat speeds up when you are running

• Flight response that is activated by the autonomic nervous system

Which one below best describes a unconditioned stimulus?

• a puff of air blown in the eye

• eyes blinking

• salivation

• sweating

Unconditioned reflexes is describe as............

• dog salivating to the sound of the bell

• Bottom-up process of perception

• a learned response after a pairing repeatedly a a conditioned stimulus

• a unlearned response to the Unconditioned stimulus

Choose the correct unconditioned reflex below

• Jumping at the sound of a loud noise

• Dog salivating to the sound of a bell

• The somatic nervous system helps you to walk

• learning to drive

A neutral stimulus is best described as

• a stimulus that does not not naturally elicits a response

• a stimulus that triggers an automatic response

• a stimulus that causes the flight or fight response

• a stimulus that naturally activates a reflex response in a human being

Which statement below best describes a conditioned response?

• The learned behaviour caused by a conditioned stimulus

• Unlearned behaviour in response to unconditioned stimulus

• a stimulus that does not naturally cause a response

• Top-down processing of preception

Classical conditioning is..........

• a learned behaviour caused by a consequence

• an associative type learning between two or more stimuli, resulting in learned response

• unconditioned responses in an organism

• a dog naturally salivating to food
