| A.4.U3 | Reflex arcs comprise the neurons that mediate reflexes. | |
| A.4.U4 | Reflex conditioning involves forming new associations. | |
| A.4.U5 | Learned behaviour develops as a result of experience. | |
| A.4.U6 | Imprinting is learning occurring at a particular life stage and is independent of the consequences of behaviour. | |
| A.4.U7 | Operant conditioning is a form of learning that consists of trial and error experiences. | |
