"Knowledge is power" is more true now than ever
before.
Learning is one of most important mental function of
humans, animals and artificial cognitive systems. It
relies on the acquisition of different types of
knowledge supported by perceived information. It leads
to the development of new capacities, skills, values,
understanding, and preferences. Its goal is the
increasing of individual and group experience. Learning
function can be performed by different brain learning
processes, which depend on the mental capacities of
learning subject, the type of knowledge which has to be
acquitted, as well as on socio-cognitive and
environmental circumstances.
Learning ranges from simple forms of learning such as
habituation and classical conditioning seen in many
animal species, to more complex activities such as play,
seen only in relatively intelligent animals and
humans. Therefore, in general, a learning can be
conscious and not conscious.
For example, for small children, not conscious
learning processes are as natural as breathing. In fact,
there is evidence for 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.
From the social perspective, learning is the goal of
teaching and education.
Conscious learning is a capacity requested by a
students, therefore is usually goal-oriented and
requires a motivation.
Learning has also been mathematically modeled using a
differential equation related to an arbitrarily defined
knowledge indicator with respect to time, and dependent
on a number of interacting factors (constants and
variables) such as initial knowledge, motivation,
intelligence, knowledge anchorage or resistance,
etc.
Thus, learning does not occur if there is no change
in the amount of knowledge even for a long time, and
learning is negative if the amount of knowledge is
decreasing in time. Inspection of the solution to the
differential equation also shows the sigmoid and
logarithmic decay learning curves, as well as the
knowledge carrying capacity for a given learner.
