Answer

• a. typically disappear after a while, in spite of the complexity of the task.
  Explanation:
  Learning effects is a process whereby the move a product learns, the more valuable it becomes. This has the potential to generate much economic value to a company if the loop is made self-reinforcing. More value means more users, which creates a self-perpetuating cycle. After a while, this may become irrelevant as new trends emerge which requires continual changes to ensure the system is updated.
