Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe answer is 4. Learning necessarily implies development in right direction.
- Learning is a change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. It can be either positive or negative, and it does not necessarily lead to development in the "right" direction.
- For example, a person can learn to be more aggressive or to lie, and these are not necessarily considered to be positive developments.
The other three statements are all characteristics of learning.
- Change in behavior is relatively enduring. This means that the change in behavior is not temporary, but rather it lasts for a significant period of time.
- Learning does not necessarily imply improvement. As mentioned above, learning can be either positive or negative.
- Learning involves reconstruction of experiences. This means that when we learn something new, we do not simply store the new information in our memory. Instead, we actively integrate it with our existing knowledge and experiences. This process of reconstruction is what allows us to make sense of the world and to learn new things.
