B2, 3 and 4 only ✓ Correct

D2, 3, 4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 2, 3 and 4 only
Explanation

The correct views of learning are 2, 3 and 4: synthesis of experiences into a novel pattern, activities leaving a permanent effect, and acquisition, retention and modification of experience.

Remembering information and reproducing it in the examination is mere rote recall, not genuine learning.

Preparing only to score good marks reduces learning to exam performance, which is not its true meaning.

Synthesis and organisation of old and new experiences produces new understanding and behaviour.

Learning that leaves a permanent effect distinguishes it from temporary or accidental change.

Gagne and others describe learning as a relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience.
