1. Non-Associative

   • Habituation - where an individual is exposed to a stimulus for a long time or repeatedly, eventually the behavioral response will decrease to that stimulus. (Grison & Gazzaniga 2019)
   • Sensitization - When an individual is exposed to a stimulus for a long time, or many times, eventually the behavioral response will increase to that stimulus. (Grison & Gazzaniga 2019)

2. Associative

   • Classical Conditioning AKA "Pavlovian conditioning" - creates a conditioned response through associations between an unconditioned stimulus and a neutral stimulus. (Cherry 2022)
   • Operant Conditioning - A method that introduces rewards and punishment for certain behavior. the link between an action and its consequence is established for both positive and negative. (Cherry 2020)

3. Watching Others

   • Observational - Is a powerful tool of adaptation where the individual will either acquire or change their behavior after seeing at least one performance of that behavior. (Grison & Gazzaniga 2019)
   • Modeling - where an individual will observe a behavior, and imitate that behavior to learn new things. (Grison & Gazzaniga 2019)
   • Vicarious Conditioning - Is when an individual will observe another performing an action and the consequences for that action. Depending on if the outcome was positive or negative will determine the likelihood of that individual repeating the action. (Grison & Gazzaniga 2019)
