In psychology, learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, skills, or attitudes that occurs as a result of experience, practice, or study.
🔍 Key Points in the Definition
Relatively permanent – The change lasts over time, not just a temporary shift caused by fatigue, drugs, or mood.
Experience-based – It happens through interaction with the environment, observation, or instruction.
Behavioral or cognitive – It can involve visible actions (e.g., riding a bike) or internal processes (e.g., problem-solving).
Not purely innate – Unlike reflexes or instincts, learning is acquired rather than inborn.
✅ Example:
See lessA child who touches a hot stove and gets burned learns to avoid touching it in the future—this change in behavior is due to experience, not instinct.
