classical coniditoning
definition of Learning
the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, or behaviours through experience.
definition of behaviourist approaches of learning
Theories that propose learning occurs when interacting with the external environment
definition of classical conditioning
A process of learning through that involuntary association between the neural stimulus that results in an unconiditioned response.
The three steps of classical conditioning
- Before conditioning
- During Conditioning
- After conditioning
Definition of before conditioning
the first stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus has no associations and does not produce any response.
what is a neutral stimulus?
A stimulus that produces no response prior to conditioning.
unconditioned stimulus?
stimulus that produces an unconscious response.
unconditioned response
a naturally occurring behavior in response to a stimulus
definition of during conditioning
The second stage of classical conditioning, which the neutral is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus, producing the unconditioned response.
definition of after conditioning
the third stage of classical conditioning, which the neutral becomes the conditioned stimulus, producing a conditioned response.
what is a conditioned stimulus?
(originally the neutral stimulus) that produces a conditioned response after being repeated with an unconditioned stimulus.
what is a conditioned response?
A response that occurs involuntary after the conditioned stimulus was presented.
