The process of constructing, by iterative exercise, any basically automated physical or physiological behavior, or mental algorithms and frames of reference.
Training does not however suppress completely any latitude in behavior: it merely tend to define in each case a specific range of acceptable activities.
Any training is based on reinforcement by repetitions. Learning is more of a specific training of neuronal connections in the brain, mainly in the neocortex.
It seems to be basically a process of establishing behavioral or neural constraints in order to define in a precise way the potential activities of a system.
