 Incidental learning refers to the fact that people learn a lot without explicit intention to learn or without instruction,​ like learning of new vocabulary through imitation and social interaction,​ learning social norms through playing games with other children, learning geography through traveling or surfing the web. This type of learning uses the **intrinsic motivation**. On the contrary, traditional education is mostly orientated mostly on extrinsic motivation: learner should learn what is suggested by the teacher in order to win a //prize// or avoid //​punishment//​. Incidental learning refers to the fact that people learn a lot without explicit intention to learn or without instruction,​ like learning of new vocabulary through imitation and social interaction,​ learning social norms through playing games with other children, learning geography through traveling or surfing the web.

-Incidental learning is often confused with informal learning, yet informal learning is usually intentional,​ although not highly structured. Some authors consider incidental learning a subtype of informal learning((Marsick,​ Victoria J., and Karen E. Watkins. Informal and Incidental Learning. In New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education. Jossey-Bass,​ A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001.))+Incidental learning is often confused with informal learning, yet informal learning is usually intentional,​ although not highly structured.
