What is learning? grow; not taught or learned (preprogrammed) : baby turtles going back to the ocean after hatching, to survive and. : something that is taught,effortful, and given constant thought. Learned behavior & instinctual behavior at the end do they. Ex) nice cars next to hot girls, cigarette ad showcasing a cowboy. When a nice car is brought out, were inclined to think about hot girls. When a cowboy is shown, were inclined to think that he smokes. Ex) dog sees food, he salivates, triggering a reflex. Ringing a bell whenever the dog sees food conditions the dog to salivate even where there is no food. Kids are more often to think and try unorthodox methods compared to adults. Ex) when a baby sees his/her mom and sees her with different types of clothing, the baby observes and defines that the mom is one unit and the clothing is not attached to the unit.
