    The chapter discusses different types of learning including habituation, sensitization, and classical conditioning. Habituation is responding less to repeated stimuli while sensitization is increasing responses. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits an automatic response. Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning by observing that dogs salivated to a bell that was paired with meat. His experiments showed that a neutral stimulus like a bell could become a conditioned stimulus that elicits the same response, like salivation, as the unconditioned stimulus through repeated pairing.
