Learning

Learning is when a specific organism receives new behaviors, knowledge, or skills due to the presence of different types of information . Certain organisms, like humans and animals, have the ability to progress information over time, which creates curves of learning. Learning can be teachable to others who are unfamiliar with the information of a certain topic. Human learning can occur as part of teaching or personal development. One example of learning is learning with goals in mind, which may be aided by motivation. Causes of learning include classical conditioning or operant conditioning. One last important note when dealing with the learning process is that it may occur consciously or without conscious awareness.
