learning

Learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable individuals to understand the world around them and perform various tasks proficiently. Learning usually involves synthesizing information and adapting behaviors, and may occur as part of formal education, personal development, training and experience.


Learning is contextual and can rarely occur if an individual is not motivated to learn or driven toward an ultimate goal. Some people find that it is easier for them to learn under pressure, while others prefer to learn on their own time. Both animals and humans posses the ability to learn, and computer generated programs can mimic learning.
