Solution:

Learning may be defined as a relatively durable change in behavior due to experience. Thus, if the change in behavior is temporary, or due to instinct or maturation, it is not learning. The key feature of learning is experience. Any change in behavior in the absence of practice or experience does not qualify as learning.Conceptual learning: Conceptual learning is that type of learning in which the learner covers all the aspects related to the problem, they get the logic behind the problems by analyzing, observing, etc.? ??Characteristics of Conceptual learning:Conceptual learning makes learners thought processes divergent, by which students can think all the possible positive and negative aspects related to the problem.
