Learning is behavior

Some theorists define learning as a process for changing, shaping, and controlling behavior. Schunk [2] presented a definition of learning from a cognitive perspective: “learning is an enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience” [2, p. 2]. Schink’s definition offers three criteria for defining learning: change, endurance, and experience. Regarding change, learning involves changes in the “knowledge, skills, strategies, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors” [2, p. 1] of an individual.
