Learning, 256 from experience

It was thought previously that there were no inborn odor preferences that these are learned from experience. However, studies at the MoneU Center have indicated that flavors consumed by a mother and transmitted into the milk influence the feeding behavior of her infant. When mothers consume gadic, their infants feed longer than when no gadic is consumed (7). 

Learning Curves It is usual to learn from experience. Consequently, the time taken to produce an article, the number of spoiled batches, the cost per unit of production, etc., tend to decrease with the number of units produced. The relationships are expressed for the ideal case by...

This chapter is devoted to the energetics and kinetics of the incorporation of hydrogen into the simplest and most studied of its possible hosts, crystalline silicon of high perfection containing known concentrations of shallow donor or acceptor impurities. It undertakes to review what has been learned from experiments about the phenomenological parameters... 

After the acute psychotic episode has resolved, the patient typically has residual features (e.g., anxiety, suspiciousness, lack of volition, lack of motivation, poor insight, impaired judgment, social withdrawal, difficulty in learning from experience, and poor self-care skills). Patients often have comorbid substance abuse and are nonadherent with medications.

People who drink caffeine have learned from experience how much to consume and thus to avoid the adverse behavioral effects of too much caffeine. Excessive consumption of caffeine is an almost perfect example of the fundamental dose-response principle of toxicology. A sudden reduction in caffeine consumption by... 

It is fortuitious that there should be so much diversity of view. The objective in a book on learning from experience is not to synthesize all the existing views and provide you with one theoretical ideal of effectiveness to emulate. Rather it is to enable you, drawing on your own experience, to become a better judge of what effectiveness means for you and your particular circumstances. The fact that the boxes accompanying the chapter reflect so mjiny diverse views of effectiveness should impel you to think through your own stance for managing effectively. 

The approach to learning from experience taken in this book owes much to the ideas of action learning (Revans, 1971, 1983 McGill and Beatie, 1992 Pedler, 1991). It dispenses, though, with many of the procedures one might expect to find on many orthodox action-learning programmes.

Learning from experience is a skill. It also requires a will to learn in this way. Setting up a developmental experience with the right conditions will not be of much use to you unless you have this will and skill. 

Your perceptions could of course work the other way with exaggerated ideas of the possible, but this is scarcely a problem from a development point of view. If you are seeking to learn from experience, the risk of being undone by over-ambitious plans based on an Inflated sense of your capabilities is probably worth taking. 

Many of the things that we learn from experience are practical skills, clearly observable behaviours, which can be practised and on which a judgement can be made about how well one has performed. Inner competence is less tangible. For example, while exerting power is something you do, you cannot always be certain when or whether you are being... 

A great deal of learning from experience is to do with discovering how to manage your external world - what to do and how to do it. You also need to be personally adept in this external world - to know yourself and how you need to be.

This is intended as an entree and as a focusing exercise to prove to busy people that there is mutual interest in cooperating. It is also useful to concentrate on one or two good examples and demonstrate success. Internally to the company, I have learned from experience that someone in the company who really cares about the project is required. For example, it is clearly a waste to fund a specific university because one of our employees was an alumnus but had no technical or business interest in the results. After writing the check, we had no other close ongoing relationship with the research until it was time for renewal. 

We are learning from experience and research that there are problems in crop production from repeated use of herbicides without mixing partners, or without alternating the use of herbicides with different modes of action. Not only do the resistant weeds become problems, but they lead to additional applications of the herbicides, adding further expense and further pressure to the development of resistant populations.
