Question 1

Which of the following is not a way to define learning?&#10;A) Change in behavior&#10;B) Change in mental functioning&#10;C) Change in emotional functioning&#10;D) Change in meaning of information

Accepted Answer

Learning is typically defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior, mental functioning, or emotional functioning due to experience. The change in the meaning of information, while it can be a result of learning, is not a standard definition of learning itself. Learning focuses more on how information or experiences lead to changes in behavior, cognition, or emotions rather than just the interpretation or meaning of information.
