Overview of Research
Learning has been categorized in many ways. Three are discussed below.

The mnemonic strategy is one of the time-tested learning strategies. You can learn anything faster by trying a mnemonic approach — sounds, letter patterns, or other methods that help you learn a concept. This was extremely popular in kindergarten to learn the alphabet. Children can ‘know their ABCs’ thanks to the alphabet song and retain this information.

Types of learning

• Transmission
• In this form of learning, any information, knowledge, idea or skill is imparted to others through purposeful demonstration, guidance and conscious telling. This is the most traditional and predominant form of learning and accounts for a major portion of a person’s total learning in a lifetime.
• Acquisition
• This form of learning is solely dependent on the learner. In this method, relevant knowledge is acquired by an individual through exploration, experimentation, self-instruction, inquiry and curiosity to know more. Acquisition method even accounts for a chief percentage of an individual’s total learning process.

e-Learning & Mobile Learning

• e-Learning & Mobile Learning
• e-Learning is an upcoming method of learning which is all about internet-based computer enhanced learning. In this type, a person learns by browsing the web. A further diffused form of e-learning is mobile learning which uses different mobile telecommunication equipments such as cellular phones to dissipate information

Other Types

• Other Types
• Perceptual learning refers to the ability of an individual to identify particular stimuli that have been seen before as well.
• Stimulus-response learning involves a person’s ability to perform a certain task in the presence of specific stimuli.
• Learning through instrumental conditioning is associated between a response and stimulus. In this method, an organism adjusts his behavior in accordance to the consequences of that behavior.
• Relational learning involves connections between different areas of the association cortex in an individual.
• Spatial learning is all about getting to know about the various relations among many stimuli.
• Episodic learning is about gaining valuable information by remembering sequences of the events that one witnesses.
