What is learning?
1. Learning is the process of acquiring new or modifying existing
knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences.
2. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some
machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in some
plants.
3. Some learning is immediate, induced by a single event (e.g. being
burned by a hot stove), but much skill and knowledge accumulates
from repeated experiences.
