Theory of Learning

Learning is an open ended word. Some people define it as the acquisition of knowledge from experience.  I believe that the definition of learning is dynamic because the process of learning itself is dynamic. Most people would probably agree that learning is essentially the modification of old thoughts or the integration of new thoughts. I'm interested in the phenomenon of static experiences and variable learning. There exists a disconnect between what someone experiences and what they learn from the experience. You could describe two synonymous experiences as being different only because what is learned from the two experiences is different. This would suggest that how you experience reality affects what you learn from reality. Because reality is a comprehensive experience the best understanding of reality would also be comprehensive. Because of this, my strategy for the future is to alter the way I experience things in hope that it will further my learning.
