Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America Besides the interesting fact
that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the
dinosaurs were found together This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived
as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as
closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog It is actually not of the same family at all as the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study
of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning
involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell,
touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills
