Object Learning (ger .: object learning ) referred to in the psychology of learning learning associations between different properties of the object .

Object learning was first investigated with dogs by Pavlov and his students Vulwson and Snarskij. First, the test animals were shown sand. This triggered no visible reaction. Then sand was introduced into the dogs' mouths, which resulted in increased salivation (salivation). If they were then offered sand again, they already reacted to the sight of the sand with saliva. They had learned an association between different modalities of the object sand.

Another example for the association of different object properties is the identification of an object by touching it with closed eyes or the appearance of hunger at the sight of an appetizing food.
