Learning
Learning is a process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, together with preferences. a ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some shape of learning inplants. Some learning is immediate, induced by a single event e.g. being burned by a hot stove, but much skill and cognition accumulate from repeated experiences. The turn induced by learning often last a lifetime, and this is the hard to distinguish learned material that seems to be "lost" from that which cannot be retrieved.
Human learning starts at birth it might even start before in terms of an embryo's need for both interaction with, and freedom within its environment within the womb. and remains until death as a consequence of ongoing interactions between people and their environment. The quality and processes involved in learning are studied in many imposing fields including educational psychology, neuropsychology, experimental psychology, cognitive sciences, and pedagogy, as well as emerging fields of cognition e.g. with a divided up interest in the topic of learning from safety events such(a) as incidents/accidents, or in collaborative learning health systems. Research in such(a) fields has led to the identification of various sorts of learning. For example, learning may arise as a total of habituation, or classical conditioning, operant conditioning or as a a thing that is caused or produced by something else of more complex activities such as play, seen only in relatively intelligent animals. Learning may occur consciously or without conscious awareness. Learning that an aversive event can't be avoided or escaped may result in a condition called learned helplessness. There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally, in which habituation has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation, indicating that the central nervous system is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development.
Play has been approached by several theorists as a throw of learning. Children experiment with the world, learn the rules, and learn to interact through play. Lev Vygotsky agrees that play is pivotal for children's development, since they pretend meaning of their environment through playing educational games. For Vygotsky, however, play is the first form of learning Linguistic communication and communication, and the stage where a child begins to understand rules and symbols. This has led to a idea that learning in organisms is always related to semiosis, and often associated with representational systems/activity.
