Learning

Learning can be defined as any relatively permanent change in behavior which occurs as a result of practice or experience. This definition has three important components :
(a) Learning is a change in behavior, for the better or worse.
(b) It is a change that takes place through practice or experience; changes due to growth or maturation are not learning. This part of the definition distinguishes learning from innately controlled species specific behavior.
(c) Before, it can be called learning, the change must be relatively permanent, it must last for a fairly long period.’
