Learning
Learning is one of the most fundamental concepts in Psychology. It is said that learning is the permanent or life-lasting change in behavior that is achieved as the result of practice and experience.
The different consequences of experience bring learning in human life. Learning is gaining new behaviors or acquiring new behaviors. Learning consists of behavior that we practice in our daily life and which becomes a permanent part of our existing set of behaviors.
The learning may differ from person to person, as their life experience is also different from one to another. Some people have the highest degree of learning as some have lower. Learning can influence the behavior of a person through teaching.
Learning is the process of getting new concepts of different things. We can know the multi-part of an object if we study them. It is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines, there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants.
Human learning starts at birth and continues until death as a consequence of ongoing interactions between people and the environment. Nature and processes involved in learning are studied in many fields, including educational psychology, experimental psychology, neuropsychology, and pedagogy.
Learning may occur as a result of habituation, or classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or as a result of more complex activities such a 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.
Not Learning
The term not-learning refers to any situation in which somebody has a possibility to learn but does not do so. In practice, however, there has been a clear tendency to use the term considerably broader, covering also all situations in which some learning takes place but this learning is incorrect, insufficient, distorted, not in accordance with what is expected, intended, or the like. So, in general, non-learning refers to situations in which somebody has a possibility to learn something but the correct, expected, or intended learning does not take place.
As learning is a very complex matter, it actually happens very often that people and especially pupils and students do not learn what they would or should learn, probably more often than precisely the wanted or intended learning takes place fully and correctly.
