What is Learning?

• A relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, capability, or attitude that is acquired through experience and cannot be attributed to illness, injury, or maturation.

• Fixed action patterns: behaviors that are driven by genetic inheritance and are species-specific.

Classical Conditioning

• Ivan P. Pavlov

• Classical conditioning is a form of learning in which an association is formed between one stimulus and another.

• Reflexes– automatic stimulus-response

connections that are “hardwired” into the brain
