Place Learning

Place learning is the process of acquiring knowledge about the environment’s layout and spatial relationships. It involves understanding where things are, such as the location of objects, routes, or areas within a space. This type of learning helps individuals or animals navigate and find their way by building mental maps based on sensory information and experiences. For example, remembering how to get from your home to a friend's house or locating a specific shelf in a library involves place learning. It is a fundamental aspect of how we interact with and understand our surroundings.
