All Non-Associative Learning

Forms of learning that change a response to a stimulus without pairing it with anything else, namely habituation and sensitization. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article calls it non-associative learning or describes a response changing with repeated exposure alone. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Non-Associative Learning rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
