<P> Human learning begins before birth and continues until death as a consequence of ongoing interactions between person and environment . The nature and processes involved in learning are studied in many fields , including educational psychology , neuropsychology , experimental psychology , and pedagogy . Research in such fields has led to the identification of various sorts of learning . For example , learning may occur as a result of habituation , or classical conditioning , operant conditioning or as a result of more complex activities such as play , seen only in relatively intelligent animals . Learning may occur consciously or without conscious awareness . Learning that an aversive event ca n't be avoided nor escaped may result in a condition called learned helplessness . There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally , in which habituation has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation , indicating that the central nervous system is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development . </P>
