Non-associative learning refers to a change in behavior that occurs over time in response to a single type of stimulus, such as habituation or sensitization. Gavin's change in behavior is due to associative learning (learning the association between coloring on walls and receiving a time-out) rather than non-associative learning, which does not involve learning the relationship between two different stimuli.
