They come with lots of ideas in their heads and use what is in their head and build their understanding of the world (begins with when they are born) they are primed for learning. Examples of what people may do once they learn: A child can successfully identity objects that are red. A student can use the idea of entropy to explain why ice melts. A surfer tries snowboarding for the first time. A person employs a new strategy for reading faster. A young student believes that he cannot do math.
