Abstract
The authors hypothesize that man will learn non-linear functional relation as a certain combination of suitable linear functions, using his good sensitivity for the linear functional relations.To verify this characteristic we have made an experiment on learning of two types of non-linear functions-additive and non-additive-each of which can be expressed as a combination of two linear functions.As a result, the performance for the non-additive type is better than that of the additive type.And the manner in which the subjects are adjusted to these respective regions are different, but the existence of a boundary of the regions in their response systems is not defined clearly.
