Document Summary

Learning is a lasting change cause by experience. Traditionally, animals were the focus on the study of learning. Non- associative learning- does not require the linking or association of stimuli. It refers to learning following repeated exposure to a single stimulus or event. It causes a relatively permanent change in the strength. This is the simplest, most basic form of learning. There are two major types of non associative learning: habituation- a form of learning where organisms decrease response to a stimulus after repeated stimulus presentation. The animal/ human has learned to ignore something that is unimportant (learn to ignore birds chirping after repitition) Dishabituation involves a full-strength recovery of the habituated response in the presence of a new stimulus: sensitization- involves an altered response following the presentation of a single sensory cue. Associative learning- a change that occurs as the result of experiences that lead us to link two or more stimuli together.
