Classical learning, Operant Learning.

6. NON-ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING
Habituation :
 it is when repeated exposure to a stimulus decreases an
organism’s responsiveness to the stimulus.

7. NON-ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING
Sensitization:
 It is learning that occurs when stimulus is
repeated,and each time your response to it increases as
it goes on and on.

9. ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING
 Classical Conditionings:
 It is a learning process in which an innate response to a potent
stimulus comes to be elicited in response to a previously neutral
stimulus; this is achieved by repeated pairings of the neutral
stimulus with the potent stimulus.

10. ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING:

by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment.
