Document Summary
Chapter 7: learning of food and soon, the dogs started to salivate to any of those: 40 different kinds of learning. Learning involves the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or responses from experiences that result in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner. Technically speaking, salivation is not an unconditioned response though.
