nonassociative learning

a process in which an organism’s behavior toward a specific stimulus changes over time in the absence of any evident link to (association with) consequences or other stimuli that would induce such change. Nonassociative learning is thus based on frequency. There are two major forms of nonassociative learning: habituation and sensitization. Compare associative learning.
