Learning is the process by which experience produces relatively enduring changes in behaviour, knowledge, skills or cognitive representations. In psychology and the behavioural sciences it spans associative mechanisms such as classical and operant conditioning, which underpin behaviour therapy, as well as cognitive processes of attention, memory encoding and retrieval, motivation and metacognition that shape educational achievement. Learning is studied across levels, from the neural and physiological substrates of memory through individual differences in study approaches and motivation to instructional design and the support of learners with diverse needs, and it intersects with computational accounts in which machine-learning algorithms model how systems improve performance from data. Understanding learning informs teaching methodology, the assessment of learning environments, interventions for special educational needs, and the maintenance of cognitive function. Research collected under this term reflects this breadth: the influence of flipped-classroom teaching on learning during the COVID-19 period, analysis of students' learning environments and study approaches, student motivation in teaching and learning, deep-learning and decision-tree algorithms applied to classification problems, learning and memory in an animal model of longevity, teaching and learning methodologies for learners with special educational needs, and the impact of disruptions on education. The peer-reviewed literature in this area spans behavioural, cognitive, educational and computational perspectives on learning, memory and instruction.
