Learning definition
Relatively permanent behavior change from experience.
Reflex example

Learning from experience; maturation from biological changes.
Classical conditioning
Stimulus-response association forming learned behaviors.

Conditioned stimulus
Previously neutral, now elicits response after pairing.
