BLearning does not necessarily imply improvement

DLearning necessarily implies development in the right direction ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Learning necessarily implies development in the right direction
Explanation
Learning does not necessarily imply development in the right direction, so this is not a characteristic of learning.
Change in behaviour being relatively enduring is a true characteristic.
Learning not necessarily implying improvement is also true, since bad habits are learnt too.
Learning involving reconstruction of experiences is a genuine characteristic.
Because harmful and undesirable behaviour can be learnt, learning is direction-neutral.
Learning is defined as any relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience.
