Explain the concept of learning.

Learning occurs when experience (including practice) causes a relatively permanent change in an individual’s knowledge or behaviour. The change may be deliberate or unintentional, for better or for worse, correct or incorrect and conscious or unconscious (Schunk, 2008). Changes simply caused by maturation, such as growing taller or turning grey, do not qualify as learning. Changes resulting from learning take place in the individual’s knowledge or behaviour.
