• Learning

• • Habituation

• • Associative learning

• Stimulus

the decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation.

• Learning

• • Habituation

• • Associative learning

• Stimulus

learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (as in operant conditioning).

behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimuli.

• • Respondent behavior

• • Operant behavior

• • Cognitive learning

• • Classical conditioning

behavior that operates on the environment, producing a consequence.

• • Respondent behavior

• • Operant behavior

• • Cognitive learning

• • Classical conditioning

the acquisition of mental information, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language.

• • Respondent behavior

• • Operant behavior

• • Cognitive learning

• • Classical conditioning

a type of learning in which we link two or more stimuli; as a result, to illustrate Pavlov’s classic experiment, the first stimuli (a tone) comes to elicit behavior (drooling) in anticipation of the second stimulus (food).

• • Respondent behavior

• • Operant behavior

• • Cognitive learning

• • Classical conditioning

the view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologist today agree with (1) but not (2).

• Behaviorism

• • Neutral stimulus (NS)

• • Unconditioned response (UCR)

• • Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.
