I definitely think there are optimal conditions for learning. Two
types of optimal conditions that can affect learning are biological and
environmental. As for biological, the more an individual places a value of
emotion on information he or she needs or wants to remember, the better the
chance of recalling that information. Although, placing to much emotion or
overly averse emotion on information may make it difficult to remember. As
for environmental, one needs to be as close to his or her environment as
possible during learning (a room with minimal background noise) as to the
environment when an individual needs to recall learned information; which
enables an individual to have a better memory for recalling learned
information. Certain individuals think watching TV is okay when studying but
when it is time to recall learned information in a classroom there will be no
TV. Basically, order in an individual's environment is beneficial for learning.
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. American Psychological Association (2013), "the discipline embraces all aspects of the human experience — from the functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to care for the aged" (para. 1). American Psychological Association (2013), "in every conceivable setting from scientific research centers to mental health care services, "the understanding of behavior" is the enterprise of psychologists" (para. 1).
