Learning
Acquiring, modifying, and reinforcing knowledge including behavior, skills, values, and more. Learning is dependent on memory and attention and those are dependent on how we interact with the world. As we learn our brains are rewired (plasticity).
Learning can also be practiced by machines and other non-human organisms.
