Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLearning is a process through which individuals acquire, modify, or reinforce knowledge, skills, behaviors, or attitudes through study, experience, or teaching. Key Points

- It involves changes in the ways information is processed and can become apparent later when there is a reason to demonstrate it.
