Abstract
Learning can be thought of as changes in behaviour that happen due to experience. In infancy, learning occurs early on in development (in some cases prior to birth), and continues rapidly, as the baby moves from a reactive organism at birth, capable of little more than looking, listening and sleeping, to a 1-year-old who can organise, parse, and understand her environment. This chapter will review the basics of early learning from before birth to the end of the first year of life, concentrating on the visual and auditory domains.
