ABSTRACT

As Figure 9.1 shows, the natural learning cycle harmonizes completely with the structure and function of the brain. When we learn, we usually first perceive the information. This information is integrated with previous knowledge acquired by past experience. We later use the newly acquired knowledge to solve problems, to create plans for action to finally act on such plans and knowledge in such a way that a test of our skills is created. The result of such tests (that is, we either solved or did not solve the problem; and the plan did or did not work) is perceived by our senses, and the cycle begins again. Note that Figure 9.1 combines several figures originally published in Chapter 2 of Zull [1]. For more details please refer to [1].
