Learning {conditioning, learning}| can be association between stimulus and response or response and reward.
theories
Main theories about conditioning are stimulus-stimulus (S-S), stimulus-response (S-R), and expectancy [Watson, 1913] [Watson, 1924].
factors
Animal drives, habits, and sensitivities affect conditioning.
factors: reward
Punishment intensity or reward intensity affects conditioning speed and effectiveness.
Conditioning can depend on reinforcement unexpectedness. Surprise is a cognitive act.
factors: stimulus
The stronger the conditioned stimulus, the greater the reflex {stimulus strength, conditioning}
effects
Only conditioning can alter autonomic nervous system, which controls heart rate and blood pressure. Conditioning can alter voluntary nervous system.
timing
Maximum interval for conditioning is 30 minutes, but 0.5 sec is best.
biology
Conditioning is in brains, not peripheral organs.
biology: animals
Classical and instrumental conditioning are similar in many species [Hull, 1940] [Hull, 1943].
awareness
Instrumental conditioning can reflect learning about relationship between action and reinforcement, rather than just unconsciously increasing reflex or habit frequency.
