-Stimulus sampling theory was developed in 1950s by American psychologist [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​William_Kaye_Estes|William Estes]] influenced by works of [[http://​www.a2zpsychology.com/​great_psychologists/​edwin_r_guthrie.htm|Edwin Gurthie]] and his [[learning_theories:​contiguity theory and one trial learning]].(([[http://​tip.psychology.org/estes.html|KearsleyG. Stimulus Sampling Theory ​(WEstes). The Theory Into Practice Database.]] Retrieved August ​30th, 2011.)) Estes' theory suggests that a particular stimulus-response association is learned in a single trial, but the overall **learning process** consists of **accumulated S-R associations**.+Stimulus sampling theory was developed in 1950s(([[http://​psycnet.apa.org/​index.cfm?​fa=search.displayRecord&​uid=1950-05093-001|Estes,​ William K.

-Like all behaviorists,​ Estes viewed learning and behavior simply as **mechanical**. Still, later he **included memory** as a factor in his theory, and suggested stimuli don't directly cause a response. They evoke memories of previous experiences,​ enabling one to analyze possible outcomes and decide on the response that will lead to the most desirable outcome (//scanning model of decision making//).+Like all behaviorists,​ Estes viewed learning and behavior simply as **mechanical**.

-Just like Gurthie, Estes rejected reinforcement and its relations to learning. **Reinforcement** has to do with the **performance** as it influences not learning, but rather how already learned material will manifest itself. Forgetting in Estes' theory occurred through unavailable stimulus elements due to external or internal variations. Spontaneous recovery can occur due to a relevant stimuli reoccurring.+Just like Gurthie, Estes rejected reinforcement and its relations to learning. **Reinforcement** has to do with the **performance** as it influences not learning, but rather how already learned material will manifest itself.
