Excerpt
The ability of the human mind to acquire new knowledge has always fascinated me. From the days of early childhood to the last minute of life humans are capable of learning new material, gaining experience, and shaping their behavior accordingly. Even though this may not be true for some individuals with severe brain damage either due to physical trauma, inborn retardation, or aging, still for the vast majority of people those abilities remain.
