Abstract
Learning has always been related to the development of intelligence, but there are different views about the dynamics of this relation. A conservative view of learning, developed in the frame of cognitive psychology is that of “knowledge acquisition” In a traditional behaviorist approach, on the other hand, learning is related to “adaptation”, “homeostasis”, etc. Finally, the modern developments in neural science reveal the very complex behavioral, cognitive and neurophysiological structure of some basic mechanisms of learning which are active already at the level of conditioning and other “simple” cognitive activities.
