Detailed explanation-1: -What is perceptual learning? Perceptual learning is experience-dependent enhancement of our ability to make sense of what we see, hear, feel, taste or smell. These changes are permanent or semi-permanent, as distinct from shorter-term mechanisms like sensory adaptation or habituation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The meaning of ‘from known to unknown’ is that the basis of the pupil’s new knowledge should be his previous knowledge. It is a psychological fact that it becomes very difficult to acquire the new knowledge if it is presented before the pupil at once.

Detailed explanation-3: -Perception often results in learning information that is directly relevant to the goals at hand, but sometimes it results in learning that is incidental to one’s immediate goals. Perception becomes more skillful with practice and experience, and perceptual learning can be thought of as the education of attention.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active learning is an approach to instruction that involves actively engaging students with the course material through discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays and other methods.
