Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following sentences.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours. It is common to think of learning
as something that takes place in school, but much of human leamingoccurs outside the classroom, and people continue to
learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in
their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.
When they enter school, children
learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the
classroom. They learn which behaviours are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social
skills for interacting with other children.
After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting
married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost
everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how
certain experiences change people’s behaviours. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning
to influence the behaviour of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are
interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge
when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behaviour and how behaviour changes
as a result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as
classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In
operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behaviour and its consequences (reward or
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation, that is, by watching others perform behaviours. More
complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following sentences.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours. It is common to think of learning
as something that takes place in school, but much of human leaming occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to
learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in
their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.
When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also
continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviours are likely to be rewarded and which are
likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children.
After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting
married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost
everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how
certain experiences change people’s behaviours. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning
to influence the behaviour of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are
interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge
when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behaviour and how behaviour changes
as a result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as

10
classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In
operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behaviour and its consequences (reward or
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation, that is, by watching others perform behaviours. More
complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following sentences.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours. It is common to think of
learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human leaming occurs outside the classroom, and people
continue to learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their
hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and
smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to
their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They
also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviours are likely to be rewarded and which
are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children.
After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting
married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost
everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how
certain experiences change people’s behaviours. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning
to influence the behaviour of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory
are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge
when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behaviour and how behaviour changes
as a result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as
classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In
operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behaviour and its consequences (reward or
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation, that is, by watching others perform behaviours. More
complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following sentences.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours. It is common to think of
learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human leaming occurs outside the classroom, and people
continue to learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their
hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and
smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to
their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They
also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviours are likely to be rewarded and which
are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children.
After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting
married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost
everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how
certain experiences change people’s behaviours. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning
to influence the behaviour of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory
are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge
when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behaviour and how behaviour changes
as a result of a person’s experiences.

30
 There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as
classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In
operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behaviour and its consequences (reward or
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation, that is, by watching others perform behaviours. More
complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
