Concept explainers
To explain: Whether learning takes place or not if after a class on importance of seat belt, out to 40 candidates 2 more candidates started using seatbelt other then already using 20 candidates.
Introduction: Learning is the process of association of different types of information and then storing and processing it in the brain. Hippocampus is the main area of the brain that is associated with the process of learning. There are two types of learning processes: associative and non-associative learning processes.
To explain: The relation between learning and actual buckling of the seat belts
Introduction: Learning is a process of continuous practice. Brain stores the information and compares with the incoming information. If the same kind of information is coming in, then the task is performed more efficiently on the basis of already stored information in the brain.

In order to maintain balance, the gymnast would need to see the balance beam and determine where her feet are touching it. She would need to control the muscle contractions in her body to ensure she doesn’t fall off the beam. The regions of the brain numbered above that are involved directly in maintaining balance are Answer, Answer, Answer, and Answer.
