Usually the key aspect of an action of some X$X$ is that X$X$ itself carries an algebraic structure, such as being a group (or just a monoid) or being a ring or an associative algebra, which is also possessed by YY$Y^Y$ and preserved by the curried action actˆ$\widehat{act}$. Note that if Y$Y$ is any set then YY$Y^Y$ is a monoid,

"Historically the notion of monoid (or of group in particular) was abstracted from the actions, a pivotally important abstraction since as soon as a particular action is constructed or noticed, the demands of learning, development, and use mutate it into: 1) other actions on the same object, 2) actions on other related objects, and 3) actions of related monoids.

... Learning is the product of experience. Learning can only take place through the attempt to solve a problem and therefore only takes place during activity.

A second generalization that can be gleaned from many of the classic learning experiments is that learning associated with repetition of essentially the same problem is subject
to sharply diminishing returns.
