Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and behaviors through experience, study, or teaching. It involves integrating new information with existing knowledge to improve problem-solving abilities, decision-making, and task performance. There are different types of learning, including cognitive learning, where individuals gain new facts and concepts, skill development, which focuses on improving physical or mental abilities, and behavioral learning, where changes in behavior occur due to experiences or stimuli.
