Learning 
Definition of Learning
Learning can be described as a "long-lasting modification in behaviour or potential 
behaviour that is the result of an individual's experiences."
It is demonstrated by changes in behavior or potential behavior that are relatively 
permanent and due to practice and experience.

Features of Learning
Experience-Based
Learning in psychology always involves experiences. This means we go through events in a 
particular order repeatedly. For instance, one learns that if the bell rings in the hostel after 
sunset, dinner is ready.
Relatively Permanent
Changes in behaviour due to learning are relatively permanent. It's important to differentiate 
these changes from temporary ones caused by fatigue, habituation, or drugs.
Psychological Sequence
Learning includes a sequence of psychological events, from pre-testing to recall, with 
processing and knowledge acquisition in between.

Paradigms of Learning
Different methods are used to learn simple responses compared to complex ones. The simplest kind of 
learning is called conditioning.
Classical Conditioning
Connecting a neutral stimulus with an important 
one to trigger a response.
Operant Conditioning
Learning through rewards and punishments that 
encourage or discourage behaviours.
Skill Learning
Developing physical or mental skills through 
practice and repetition.

remembering, and problem-solving.
Verbal Learning
Acquiring knowledge through language 
and communication.
