Study Notes
Learning
- Acquiring new information and behaviors through experience
- Enables adaptation to our environment
- Takes an average of 66 days to learn a new habit
Behaviorism
- Psychology should study observable behavior
- Developed by John B. Watson
- Focuses on external behaviors without considering internal mental processes
Associative Learning
- Learning that certain events occur together
Ivan Pavlov
- Russian physiologist
- Studied Digestion for which he won the Nobel Prize
- Initially wanted to be a priest, but studied medicine
- Accidentally discovered classical conditioning through his studies
Classical Conditioning
- A subject learns to associate one stimulus with another stimulus
- This association leads to the subject anticipating an event and responding to the first stimulus as if it were the second stimulus
- Studied using dogs and saliva
Pavlov's Early Experiment
- Fed the dogs with tubes that collected saliva
- Harnassed the dogs and measured how much saliva they produced when they ate
- Experiment demonstrated classical conditioning
