Enculturation

The process by which a learner becomes an accepted member of society, often through repetition. Involves learning the norms specific to society as well as accepting those norms and perpetuating them for later potential members. These norms are learned by social interactions, including but not limited to their parents, peers, teachers, and other adults.

"Given the change to observe and practice in situ the behavior of members of a culture, people pick up relevant jargon, imitate behavior, and gradually start to act in accordance with its norms." (Brown, Collins, and Duguid, 1989, pg 34)
