What is Learning? Learning is the process of acquiring new, or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in some plants. Some learning is immediate, induced by a single event, but much skill and knowledge accumulates from repeated experiences. The changes induced by learning often last a lifetime, and it is hard to distinguish learned material that seems to be "lost" from that which cannot be retrieved. Learning is a change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience, and learned behaviors are usually less rigid than innate behaviors. Types of learning include habituation, sensitization, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning, play, and insight learning. - www.ck12.org/book Henriette Brown – A Girl Writing.

Imprinting In psychobiology, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience and thereafter follows that object. In nature the object is almost invariably a parent; in experiments, other animals and inanimate objects have been used. Imprinting has been intensively studied only in birds, especially chickens, ducks, and geese, but a comparable form of learning apparently occurs in the young of many mammals and some fishes and insects. In mallard ducklings and domestic chicks, imprinting can be accomplished in a few hours . Sometimes teachers have a lasting impact on students.
