I'm reading an article by Russell N. Cassel called Primary Principles of Learning from the Peabody Journal of Education. In it, he argues that two main things influence learning: the learner's ability and the influence of their past experiences. I'd imagine the first is generally considered to be more fixed (nature) and the latter not so. (nurture) By the time we meet someone, they are filled with experiences, experienced through their perception, cognition and senses. They have arrived at each conclusion based on the experience before it. It we cast that thought forward, the experience you are currently having had better be considered as it's contributing to your future understanding and future self. It's how we head down slippery slopes and how one decision steps into another. So, if that' so, choose wisely. :) For who knows where this moment will lead?
