What to Focus On

  • Learning means relatively permanent change in behaviour or behavioural potential.
  • Experience is necessary for learning.
  • Changes due to fatigue, drugs, and habituation are not learning.

  • Classical conditioning is one major type of conditioning.
  • Operant or instrumental conditioning is the second major type of conditioning.
  • Observational learning, cognitive learning, verbal learning, and skill learning are other important forms.

  • Pavlov first investigated classical conditioning.
  • Food is the Unconditioned Stimulus and salivation is the Unconditioned Response.
  • After conditioning, the bell becomes the Conditioned Stimulus and salivation becomes the Conditioned Response.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learning is any change in behaviour, so fatigue, drugs, and habit changes are also learning.

Learning and performance are the same thing.

Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are basically the same because both use stimulus and response.

Memory Tips
