Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) is a soft computing, modeling methodology for complex systems, which is originated from the combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks. Many different learning algorithms have been suggested for the training of neural networks. Only some initial thoughts on learning rules have described for FCMs. A learning law is a mathematical algorithm, which can train the FCM by selecting the appropriate weights and it is very important for a system to have learning and adaptive capabilities. In this paper a new learning algorithm, the Activation Hebbian Learning (AHL) has been proposed for FCMs. The learning rule for a FCM is a procedure where FCM weight matrix is modified in order the FCM to model the behavior of a system. Simulation results proving the strength of the learning rule are provided.
