This document discusses learning, including its meaning, definition, and components. Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior or behavioral potential resulting from experience. It involves three components: (1) a relatively permanent change, (2) a modification of behavior, and (3) occurring through practice, experience, or observation. Learning results in changes to neural circuitry in the brain and differs from maturation, habituation, or mere performance or response. Various types of learning are discussed, as well as factors that can affect the learning process.
