Learning is a continuous process of transformation of behavior.
Learning is not a process of accumulation of representations of the environment, it is a continuous process of transformation of behavior through continuous change in the capacity of the nervous system to synthesize it. Recall does not depend on the indefinite retention of a structural invariant that represents an entity (an idea, image, or symbol), but on the functional ability of the system to create, when certain recurrent conditions are given, a behavior that satisfies the recurrent demands; or that the observer would class as a re-enacting of a previous one.
