Observation

Script

Learning is any process of acquiring new, or modifying existing, behaviors, preferences, values, understandings, knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA), as well as a result of that process. Purposeful learning is undertaken with the purpose of learning; we all learn occasionally, without special intent, all the time.

Observation is a significant source of both purposeful and occasional learning. Observation refers to recognizing and noting any subject, fact, occurrence, situation, and/or state of affairs. Some types of observation involve measurement with instruments.

Observational learning occurs as a function of recognizing, noting, retaining, and replicating behavior observed in one's environment or other people.

Naturally, we also learn from other people, both observational and through learning content delivery. This type of learning is known as social learning.
