Non-associative learning - ANS when a stimulus is not paired with a behavior. Habituation or

associated with a different element (Unconditioned Stimulus) that already generates the
desired response (Unconditioned Response) until the neutral element stops being neutral and
causes the same response (Conditioned Response).
