| Description | The evolutionary function of learning is for an animal to be able to predict and control her/his environment. Learning requires that the animal recognizes changes in the environment (i.e., perceives the relevant stimuli) and is able to recall the event and – depending on what has been learned – her/his own behavior (i.e., the behavior before the event). Animals learn all the time. To avoid our animals developing fear responses towards the surroundings or us, we need to know the principles behind animal learning. Using the principles described in this chapter, it is also possible to adapt the environment and our own behavior to ensure – by determinedly focused handling, training, and management procedures – that the animal mostly will learn responses and behaviors that increase the welfare of each individual animal.
