SUMMARY
Learning is a complex process that happens inthe brain. This paper attempts to discuss
what happening in the brain at the neural level as we learn more about our environments
and as we think through concepts. Conceptsare mental representations that can be
expressed by a single word or a set of ideasdescribed by a few words. Through the use
of language individual conceptscan then be connected to build more complex concepts.
Identifying the origin and the nature of concepts is rather tricky and no clear theories of
how this happens in the student’s mind are available. Though this is a natural process,
the construction of concepts requires a complex mixing and repeated evaluation of old
and new observations, facts and thoughts. This is a natural process of learning and we do
it every day.
