Associative learning is a paradigm from behaviorism that posits that learning occurs whenever a change in behavior is observed. Classical conditioning is one of the best-known associative learning paradigms and is one of the most basic survival tools found in nature by allowing organisms to expand the range of contexts where some of their already-known behaviors can be applied. By associating co-occurring stimuli from the environment, the organism can activate innate phylogenetic responses (e.g., fight or flight responses) to new and previously unknown situations. |
