Chapter 36, Problem 3MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Human and most of the organisms have the power to learn. By the help of this process an organism benefits itself a lot and in a number of ways. He is able to recall the past person or situation and is able to respond appropriately according to the need of that situation or condition. He is many-a-times able to ignore many incidences that happen regularly in his life and can remain alert for new stimulus which needs proper care and attention.
