Learning occurs when your memories allow you to recall specific details in order to engage with a specific situation. When you're learning, your brain is not "growing" but instead it is creating changes within the brain's neurons. Learning results when the connections between neurons become stronger. As certain nerve impusles are used more frequently, the neurons become more efficient at moving the impulses between each other. This is why learning often requires practice and repition to develop a quick recall of information!
