Answer preview

In my view, learning is a process through which an individual obtains new information in the form of skills, language, and values that change a person’s perception of things, tendencies, and preferences. Observation has served as the most common medium of learning in my life. My interest in video games, for instance, came as a consequence of watching my older siblings and their friends playing computer games. After observation, I started playing these games by emulating how they would press the keyboard, and that is how I learned how to play video games.
