    About this ebook

    Sitting inside a class, one student finds it easy to absorb
    information while another struggles with it. While one learner
    may excel in a particular subject another may do well in all
    the subjects. Trainees go through the same training to be
    graded differently according to the level of information they
    have absorbed and the understanding they show. Learning is a
    complex process.
    It takes years for a person to understand certain subjects and
    he still works his way out of life with limited information
    because it is difficult to imbibe the overwhelming amount of
    knowledge present in the world today.
    Depending on how information is absorbed, processed and
    retained, a number of learning theories have been formulated
    which help us understand the process of learning in individuals.
    A number of factors decide the manner in which knowledge is
    acquired or information is processed by a person changing
    their views on certain subjects and forming new views about
    certain things.
    Learning is related with different parts of the brain which plays
    an important role in processing any information that we receive.
    Every individual processes the information differently based on
    their strengths and weaknesses.
    Educational psychology endeavors to gain an understanding
    about the different behaviors of an individual to a piece of
    information. This is used in analyzing the type of learning that
    can affect the individual the most.
    Different schools of thoughts are available for finding out how
    education and information is absorbed by a learner. This books
    aims at exploring the different learning theories that currently
    exist and understanding the roots of the theory and gaining an
    insight into the reasons why these theories exist.

While one learner may excel in a particular subject another may do well in all the subjects. Trainees go through the same training to be graded differently according to the level of information they have absorbed and the understanding they show. Learning is a complex process.

      It takes years for a person to understand certain subjects and he still works his way out of life with limited information because it is difficult to imbibe the overwhelming amount of knowledge present in the world today.

      Depending on how information is absorbed, processed and retained, a number of learning theories have been formulated which help us understand the process of learning in individuals.

      A number of factors decide the manner in which knowledge is acquired or information is processed by a person changing their views on certain subjects and forming new views about certain things.
