Without having come from a cognitive psychology background (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve), I'd have thought that a learning curve would have the amount learned as the y axis, not productivity.
If a tool requires a lot to be learned before I can be productive with that tool, then I will do a lot of learning early on, so such a graph would indeed be steeper than for a tool requiring very little knowledge in order to be productive in it, where one can afford to take one's time in learning more about it.
