Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing, existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, plants and some machines. Progress over time tends to follow a learning curve. It does not happen all at once, but builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge. To that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural knowledge. Learning produces changes in the organism and the changes produced are relatively permanent.
Human learning may occur as part of education, personal development, schooling, or training. It may be goal-oriented and may be aided by motivation. The study of how learning occurs is part of educational psychology, neuropsychology, learning theory, and pedagogy. Learning may occur as a result of habituation or classical conditioning, seen in many animal species, or as a result of more complex activities such as play, seen only in relatively intelligent animals. Learning may occur consciously or without conscious awareness. Learning that an aversive event can't be avoided nor escaped is called learned helplessness. There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally, in which habituation has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation, indicating that the central nervous system is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development.
A man's life, a boot camp
Preparing him for the grave
There is nothing more to living
Or so I thought I heard them say
Existence carnal, I am but a man
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Fallibility, a probability
Humanness takes it's toll on me
(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)
Time after time, we make the same
Line after line, when will we learn
A cosmic commotion
Psychic friends on TV
Call, inquire about your future
Falsified guarantee
Man's deception
Satan's deceit in a world
Full of washed convictions
An emptiness in the mind of
The viewer of the screen
To bleive in such idiocy
To live and learn the nature of man
No on escapes this lesson
Father please forgive me for
I know well what I do
Just surround me with your love
