Objective 13
Define
learning.
Explanation:
My textbook, Psychology Tenth Edition in Modules, says learning is the process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors. In my own words learning is how we get new information. There are two types of learning. They are associative and cognitive learning. In associative learning we learn that certain things go together. Associative learning can be broken into two types, classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning a person learns to associate two stimuli. In operant conditioning a behavior is strengthened if followed by reward and diminished if followed with a punishment. The other type of learning is cognitive learning. It is when you learn by observing events, watching others, or through language.

Example:
In my textbook, Psychology Tenth Edition Modules, John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner said that human emotions and behaviors are conditioned responses. They used an 11 month old named Albert to show how fears might be conditioned. They showed him a rat, and he was ok with it. They then showed him a rat and hit a hammer against a steel bar. After seven times of seeing the rat and hearing the loud noise Albert cried when just seeing the rat. He also had fear of a rabbit, dog, and a sealskin coat. This is a good example of classical conditioning.

Example:
The picture is an example of classical conditioning. We learn that when we see lighting, thunder will soon follow. After we learn this once, we see lightning and we wait and brace ourselves for the thunder. Classical conditioning is when we associate two stimuli like lightning and thunder and brace ourselves.
