Abstract
Learning is a term used in contemporary educational theory to describe the ability to build up and add to a foundation of concepts, beliefs, and applicable skills. Techniques of argumentation and other means of communication are seen as a relevant part of these skills, but so too are motor skills that help control the use of the body and its parts, including the senses and brain. The faculty of learning applies to animals, humans, and some artificial technologies; but we will focus here on human learning, which has been scrutinized and discussed for the longest time. Information, or messages to which the receiver attends, plays a crucial role in the acquisition and development of knowledge and mental habits, but it can also disturb and disorganize them.
