Single Learning Method

A system is said to learn if it is capable of acquiring new knowledge from its environment. Learning may also enable the ability to perform new tasks without having to be redesigned or reprogrammed, especially when accompanied by generalization. Learning is most often accomplished in a system that supports symbolic abstraction, though such a property is not exclusive (reinforcement strategies, for example, do not necessarily require symbolic representation). This type of learning is separated from the acquisition of knowledge through direct programming by the designer.
