Read the following passage on learning by Mazur, James E, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on 
your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40. 
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is 
common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning 
occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives. 
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to 
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, 
tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, 
friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic 
academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal 
outside the classroom. They learn which behavior...brain stores knowledge, where this storage 
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists 
who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a 
person’s experiences. 
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning 
involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, 
smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate 
two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, 
people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or 
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform 
behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
