    LEARNING

    Learning is defined as any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience or practice that results in physical changes in the brain. Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning through his work studying digestion in dogs, which is a form of learning where an organism learns to associate a previously neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a new conditioned response. In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus naturally produces an unconditioned response, while a conditioned stimulus that was previously neutral can become associated with the unconditioned stimulus and eventually produce a conditioned response on its own through learning.

    Learning: any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience or practice.

    When people learn anything, some part of their brain is physically changed to record what they have
    learned.

    Any kind of change in the way an organism behaves is learning.

    Ivan Pavlov: Russian physiologist (person who studies the workings of the body) who discovered classical
    conditioning through his work on digestion in dogs.

    Classical conditioning: learning to make a reflex response to a stimulus other than the original, natural
    stimulus that normally produces the reflex.

    Unconditioned stimulus (UCS): a naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary response

    unconditioned means “unlearned” or “naturally occurring.”

    Unconditioned response (UCR): an involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned


    stimulus.

    Conditioned stimulus (CS): stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned reflex response by being
    paired with the original unconditioned stimulus.

    Conditioned means “learned”

    neutral stimulus (NS) can become a conditioned stimulus when paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

    Conditioned response (CR): learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus

    sometimes called a conditioned reflex

    CS: ice cream truck

    CR: salivation when one hears ice cream truck bell
