We all learn daily, from infancy to old age. You can’t help it as your senses pull in information from a variety of sources and you have to do something with that information. For most of us, we are processing information at a variety of levels from the subliminal level, the physical level, and the intellectual level.
We live in the information age as well and have to figure how to sift through the enormous volume of information. (By the way, thanks for reading MY information here 🙂 Humans learn through instrumental & associative learning. Instrumental is when you receive positive feedback from figuring something out on your own and associative learning is when you watch others do something and you say, “that was a good idea” or “I’m not gonna do THAT!” (which is how my younger brothers learned watching me make mistakes). Apparently I also have to learn that swimming in a pool in the winter is a bad idea too!
Another great way to learn is from identifying people you can model. Think about an area you need more information on, like using social media to reach clients, or new ideas on improving your orientation, whatever you need help on right now.
