ANSWER- Learning theory -

Learning theory describes how students absorb, process and retain knowledge during leaning. Cognitive , emotional and environmental influences as well as prior experience all play a part in how understanding or a world view is acquired or changed and knowledge and skills retained.

Behaviorists look at learning as an aspect of conditioning and advocate a system of rewards and target in education. Educators who embrace cognitive theory believe that the definition of learning as a change in behaviour is too narrow and study the learner rather than their environment and in particular the complexities of human memory.
