Larry Reynolds encourages you to look at your own models and compare them to the one that he is suggesting.
Most children are fantastic learners.
Within their first few years of life, and without the benefit of training courses, e-learning or instructional videos, they learn the complex tasks of walking, interacting with other human beings and talking. By the time the average child is six years old, he or she will have a working vocabulary of some 13,000 distinct words. This means that the child has been learning new words at a rate of seven a day - a new word every couple of hours, day in and day out. Think about the people who come on your training courses or who take part in the learning programmes that you organise. Many adults have a strong belief that learning is difficult and mildly unpleasant.
