Learning goes beyond memorizing data or concepts; it means to stop having certain events present in order to incorporate others, that is, to constantly rewrite the information in order to update it. Therefore, there are many variables involved in learning: physiological, physical, neurological, emotional, motivational characteristics, as well as circumstantial aspects that may be mediated by the context.  

The intrinsic enigmas in human and animal behavior have been better demonstrated with the comparative experiments using animal models that were conducted by Pavlov and Skinner, which proved significantly relevant to the study of the principles of learning and behavior.  

This will also allow students to analyze the theoretical background of learning, the types and mechanisms that enable it, the programs that contribute to its development and updating, as well as its relationship with other processes. Likewise, the program addresses the fundamental differences between Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) or Animal Assisted-Therapies (AAT) as opposed to Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA) in professional practice.
