learning, the alteration of behaviour as a result of individual experience. When an organism can perceive and change its behaviour, it is said to learn. Although living brains are very complex, this module uses metaphor and analogy to help simplify matters.

Understanding the Context

You will discover several fundamentally different modes of thinking, and how you can use these modes to improve your learning. Learning is any relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience. Learning is the process of having one’s behaviour modified, more or less permanently, by what he does and the consequences of his action, or by what he observes.
