For many hundreds of generations, people learned only through their own ‘experience, and toa lesser extent, through the observation of others. Gradually, however, as language became ‘more complex and sophisticated, it was possible to codify what had been learned by previous generation, and in distant locations, and to pass on information about unseen phenomena. In mest early cultures which relied on ‘oral transmission of knowledge, people had highly evolved capacities for ening and for remembering; however, compared with most people living today in advanced modern societies, the amount and complexity of 6 information to be dealt with by an average human being was clearly bounded and relatively slowly changing, With the invention of writing, it became possible to pass on insights and experiences over greater distances and a larger number of generations. However, at the same time asthe amount of information that an individual could acquire expanded significantly, life expectancy also increased and many people found that they had mot leisuretime in which to think and to Team, When people lived longer, it became possible fo the older people and ‘those not directly engaged in the immediate social tasks and duties to spend time thinking and learning through observation and meditation. Literacy, of ‘course, itself became a 101 that separated people, so that those who lacked the ability to decipher hieroglyphs, ‘and later other forms of writing, were forced to fall back on traditional means of learning about their ‘environments and passing on such information to others in their family, tribe or community group. “To some extent its true that modem human beings have exactly the same mental capacities and endowments as did our ancient ancestors, but with better health, longer lifespans, more leisuretime, and various kinds of adaptive and supportive technologies, the capability and propensity toward learning throughout life have ‘expanded significantly over recent generations. “Today, leaming is perhaps not as much a rmaitr of life and death as it was for our distant ancestors, nevertheless most people have some natural inclination to Team and, with the time and means at ‘their disposal, learning is an important (if often unrecognised) aspect ‘of our lives. Much of this learning occurs incidentally and is ‘unplanned, in the course of doing something else; indeed, when asked, ‘many people fail 1 recognise this as learning at all. Other learning, however, is more intentional and deliberate. Some of itis formalised in the sense that there is some explicit insiriction and very commonly some assessment of leaming outcomes. But a very large proportion of itis planned, managed and evaluated by the individual him- or herself. Of this, some depends on participating in or ‘observing particular activities, same depends on interactions with other people ~ ether individualy orn groups ~ and some on reading and writing In all these cases, the learner requires certain skills and attributes if his or her leaming isto progress successfull. .
