Unit 6 ? Learning How Do We Learn? Learning is defined as ?a relatively permanent behavior change due to experience.? Associative learning is learning certain events that occur together. Conditioning is the process of learning associations. In classical conditioning, we learn to associate two stimuli in order to anticipate events, for instance wincing after lighting in anticipation of thunder. In operant conditioning, we learn to associate our behavior and its consequence and thus to repeat acts followed by good results and avoid acts followed by bad results. For example, a cat who receives a treat after performing an action is more likely to repeat that action. 'Habituation' describes an organism's decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it.

Preview Questions: Ch 1 pg1-18 What were Wundt?s and Hall?s key ideas and accomplishments? Wundt was the ?father? of psychology in the sense that he campaigned for it to be its own school of study rather than mixed with philosophy and physiology. He also established the first formal research laboratory for psychology as well as the first journal devoted to psychology. Hall, who had studied under Wundt, established America?s first research laboratory for psychology and America?s first psychology journal. He also influenced the establishment of the American Psychological Association (APA). What were the chief tenets of structuralism and functionalism?
