Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following sentences.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours.
It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human
leamingoccurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives. Even
before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights,
sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents,
siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children
learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to
learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviours are likely to be rewarded
and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children.
After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect
their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because
learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning
is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate
children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to
understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours. Employers, politicians, and
advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behaviour of workers, voters,
and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this

storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast,
psychologists who study learning are more interested in behaviour and how behaviour changes as
a result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of
learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight,
sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to
associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant
conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behaviour and its consequences
(reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation, that is, by watching
others perform behaviours. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts,
and motor skills.
