the decrease in orienting reactions to a stimulus that is repeatedly presented.

A singular form of learning

important in the learning result of organisms being exposed to a new and novel experience(new Stimulus)

oriented to sound , lights, smells, new material

whatever you pay attention to becomes apart of your learning repertorie. What you dont pay attention to does not become apart of your behavior repertoire.

What you pay attention to compels your behavior. High Tolerance for boredom(college students)people who prevail in college can tolearate boredom.

Deer, always pay attention to whats going on in their environment, defenseless,

Birds any stimulus will cause them to fly away

is spontaneously influenced by one another

temporarily reducing habituation

can interrupt habituation by presenting a new stimulus

1. Due to changes in the sense receptors

2. Fatigue-response system can be fatigue then the response system become depleted.

Habituation takes place and will be less sensitive

3. Donald Hebb- Habituation is a circumstance where a stimulus is stored in the memory. Habituation comes about when there is a match with whats the memory.

-sets of stimulus the more matches.

More Stimulus=More matches and habituation will occur. The more you know, the more your cognitive stimulus are more capable of learning habituation.

is percieved by a contrasting stimuli

-Similar stimuli we pay attention to but more attention goes to the constrasting stimuli

leads you to habitual thinking

-influenced by what we are exposed to

-related to memory

-Everything must be preceived before it gets to memory

helps to make predictions

Bell rings and you give dog food they will begin to associate the bell with food

-is composed of a signal that a biological significant event is about to occur

Type of Learning that has series fo elements:CR,CS, NS, UCS,UCR

dont cause a reaction

when paired with a conditioned stimulus when you present one the other follows

1)Contiguity

2)Contingency

relationship is formed when two stimulus,one situation always follow an expectation of one stimulus

When positive contingency exist between a stimuluating stimulus or event

When a regularly accompany by the absense of another stimulus that might otherwise be expected to be present.

started the classical conditioning (1904)

recieved a nobel Prize for the digestion of K-9 dogs, the amount of secretion thats in the stomach.

In his lab noticed that dogs started to salivate when they saw the attendant who was bringing the food. Thats how he developed a Classical conditioned Paradigm.

-Unconditioned Stimulus( stimulus that naturally elicts some reflect action ,Automatic Unlearned Response)

-Conditioned Stimulus(Neutral stimulus that when paired with the UCS come to serve the same function

*** Between the UCS and the CS is where learning takes place

 as the UCS, causes a reaction in organism)

-Unconditioned Response(response of the organism to the unconditioned stimulus)

-Conditoned response-(of the organism to the conditioned stimulus)

Child puts their hand on a stove and pull it off

Elicits-pull from require to respond

Emits-organism volunteer the behavior

learning without understanding

People are conditioned by society, parents, media, in means of what they perfer, and what not to perfer, they are not aware of why they dont like a certain person, its conditioned

No learning cant take place, UCS woul take place first and thats not correct because CS always takes place first.

in Classical Conditioning

UCS-presented Second( Cant occur first b/c the organism doesnt have to learn how to salavate to meat powder/food but the organism doesnt salivate to the CS/ Bell naturally the organism has to learn this there for if UCS comes first and the CS second learning doesnt take place

CS-presented first

conditoned stimulus

a netrual stimulus that serves the same function as the UCS until its paired with the UCR

Uncondition stimulus

significant overt behavioral

conditioned response

a response of the organism from a conditioned stimulus

when one stimulus stands in the way of another stimulus

-be careful when you expose your cognitive system to because an overly good or bad experience can cause you to block new information

1)Forward Delay(learning takes place)(when you present CS and leave it on so there is an interaction between the CS and UCS(overlap)

2)Trace-present CS then stop presenting the CS they you present the UCS-there is no overlap because the CS is presented first as a signal to the UCS that a biological significant event is coming)

3)Stimutanious no learning takes place, present the CS and the USC at the same time, the CS is the signal that the UCS is coming so if they are presented at the same time there is no signal

4)Backwards-present the UCS then the CS, no learning takes place
