The Unified Learning Model

Abstract

We opened our discussion of the ULM with the question: What is learning? In this book, we have presented an answer: a theoretical model of learning that we call “the Unified Learning Model” (ULM). Learning in the ULM is a relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge. This knowledge at its most basic biological level is the relatively permanent change in a neuron or group of neurons. Understanding that learning is the change in a neuron complex in the brain allows us to understand that learning is a product of those things that change neurons. These are attention , repetition , and connection.
