Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior or behavioral repertoire, which means that it lasts beyond just a temporary change. This change occurs as a result of experience, whether it be through observation, practice, or other forms of engagement with the environment. Genetic inheritance (choice C) may influence behavior, but it does not necessarily lead to learning. Similarly, a temporary change in behavior due to physiological state (choice D) is not considered learning because it is not a lasting change in behavior.
