In fact, the brain and body can engage in what's called, one trial learning. When something bad happens, we eat a food that makes us sick. We have an interaction with a person or place that we really don't like. It only takes one trial to really... One event, one time to reorient or rewire our neural circuitry, so that we have a bias toward moving away from that thing in the future.
