Explanation:

Psychologists define learning as a relatively permanent change in behavior as a result of experience. Learning can be possible through vision, hearing, reading or writing, and kinesthetic. The statement that learning is useful in allowing an organism to adapt to the environment is influential because from the day an individual is born to death, every day we tend to learn each day either by imitating our elders or by modeling our role models.
