SOLUTION

Learning: Learning is the total of an individual’s life experience acquitted through the socialization process. It exceeds a mere acquisition of factual information or mastering of skills, as it also includes the total of an individual’s life experience which are relatively permanent in nature and have survived values for him.

• Learning is not acquired by birth, but it is the process of acquiring competence by using hereditary resources.
• Temporary behavior change is not learning.

Let us have a look at the definitions of learning given by various psychologists/educationists: 

• Gates and others: "Learning is the modification of behavior through experience and training".
• Crow and Crow defined learning as the process of acquisition of knowledge, habits, and attitudes. 
• B.F Skinner defined the learning process by which a response is strengthened or extinguished through the reinforcement or punishment of a behavior.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement "Learning is the modification of behavior through experience and training" was given by Gates and others.
