in Unit 7

Learning is what happens everyday...all day. The cliche line "you learn something new everyday" has never been more true after reading this chapter. Everything you do in life is learning. You take a new route to work, you try a different flavor of gum or you hit a wrong button on the computer. 

One subject that stood out to me in this unit was the study of insight and latent learning by Edward Tolman. Something that I have mentioned in my previous postings about that light bulb going off, is exactly what is being represented here. The "Aha" moment is not only recognized by yourself but your brain lightens up with it also. You become so focused once you understand what is going on, so much that you get tunnel vision. That happens to me all of the time. If I concentrate hard enough on a problem I can understand it and once I do everything else thereafter falls into place, making me feel accomplished. 

Learning.
