Task-A
Section-A
Impact of personal, social and cultural factors on learning
Learning is influenced by a number of factors such as personal, social and cultural
factors, and included cultural variables.
 Impact of personal factors on learning: Personal factors such as age of a
learner, their preferred learning style, their specific needs and attitudes as well
as motivation towards learning. For example young people have good memory
so they learn things very fast. However, people who are old, forgets things
easily and find it difficult to learn new things. Also it was researched that
women mature faster than men so they pay higher levels of concentration on
learning as compared to men (Finkelstein, Sharma and Furlonger, 2021).
 Social factors: Social factors also impact on the learners such as peer pressure.
If a learner feel pressurised, it influence their behaviour towards learning.
They will resist and avoid learning new things. On the other hand if the
learning environment is good, it will motivate the learner which will reflect in
their attitudes and behaviours.
 Cultural factors: Culture have a huge impact on the learning of an individual.
For example the cultures which motivate the learners to improve their learning
states that they understand the importance of learning. However, the cultures
which do not support the learning creates barriers in the learning such as in
some cultures education to girls is not given any importance.
Impact of different cognitive physical, cognitive and sensory abilities of learning
Various cognitive, physical and sensory abilities of learning puts a huge impact on learning.
The impact is described as follows:
 Cognitive abilities: Cognitive skills are the skills which involves the brain’s core
functionality. Some of these skills involve reading ability, speaking ability and the
ability to understand. If a learner have good cognitive skills it can boost their learning
and motivate them as well. However, cognitive disabilities can impact learning as a
person might not be able to grasp learning as compared to people with good cognitive
learning skills.
