Document Summary

If cognition, memory, and intelligence are underlying mechanisms that allow us to perceive, process, and apply information for daily adaption, then learning is a natural consequence of these mechanisms. Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in a person"s knowledge or behavior as a result of experience . When we transfer knowledge or information to long-term memory and that is elaborated, rehearsed, and practiced, then learning happens. However, the notion of learning is underlined by notions of self-efficacy and human agency. Self-efficacy is defined as the extent to which we believe we can confidently learn and master a particular skill. when an individual has high self-efficacy, they are likely to engage in challenging tasks and recover from disappointments quickly. On the other hand, people with low self-efficacy are likely to avoid difficult tasks because of lack of confidence and result to having low self-esteem. Thus, self-efficacy is a crucial factor behind learning and performance.
