Learned associations refer to connections made between stimuli or behaviors based on repeated experiences. These associations can be positive (rewarding) or negative (punishing), influencing our attitudes, emotions, beliefs, and learned responses.
This type of learning involves forming associations between behaviors and their consequences (rewards or punishments), influencing the likelihood of those behaviors occurring again in the future.
Also known as social learning or modeling, this type of learning occurs by observing others' behavior and its consequences without direct personal experience.
