Classical conditioning involves establishing a connection between two otherwise unlinked stimulations via repetition, eventually linking the stimulus so that the action happens when the stimulus occurs. This is different than operant conditioning, conditioning based upon reinforcement. This differs from classical conditioning because there is no ?middle man? for stimulus connection; the behavior is reinforced, not linked through a stimulus. Still different from the two prior is observational learning, which requires only that the individual see an action and mirror that action.

The term "Gestalt" means "whole" or "form." Gestalt psychology describes several principles of organization to explain sensation and perception as the process of grouping individual parts into a more meaningful whole You probably have seen Federal Express trucks rushing to deliver packages, but have you ever noticed the arrow shape in between the "E" and "x" letters? If not, go take at the log on their web site, or you may even have a package or letter laying around. See if you can spot the arrow.

Perception If sensation is the bottom-up process of converting environmental energy into central nervous system messages, perception is the top-down process to make sense of those messages. Computers and robots simply detect and respond based on a network of predetermined rules. As humans, our previous experiences, opinions, and expectations mold fundamental sensations into individual perceptions; foods have a personal taste, certain music inspires emotion, colors affect our moods. Selective attention, sometimes labeled the cocktail party effect, is the ability to focus our concentration on specific stimuli. We mask the chaos of surrounding sensations and focus our attention on what we interpret to be important.

Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud (German pronunciation: [ˈziːɡmʊnt ˈfʁɔʏt]), born Sigismund Schlomo Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939), was an Austrian neurologist who founded the discipline of psychoanalysis. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the mechanism of repression, and for creating the clinical method of psychoanalysis for investigating the mind and treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient (or "analysand") and a psychoanalyst.

Sensation: the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment. Perception: the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events. Bottom-up processing: analysis that begins with the sense receptors and works up to the brain’s integration of sensory information. Top-down processing: information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations. Psychophysics: the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.
