Humans start learning before they are even born! When they are born, their learning accelerates exponentiolly. As a super dry sponge or chalk, ready to absorb information. An interesting characteristic is that most of learning happens unconciouslly through trial and error and training. The amazing ability of walking invloves a tramendous amoun of perseverance that most adults would give up on trying if they were to need to relearn it. The ability of walking invloves too many tasks of muscle contractions and coordination that the conscious mind simply cannot handle. There is game that perfectly illustrate how hard walking (or running) is for the concious mind! QWOP quirky and notoriously difficult browser game where the player controls the runner’s legs by manipulating their thighs and calves individually. The question is: How much of the learning we acquire is a similar (unconscious) learning? The answer is: A lot! There is a bunch of literature explaining how our behaviours are dictated by our unconscious mind which is formed by our daily habits.
