A learning apparatus can acquire a name of an object through interaction with a human and stores it in correlation with a plurality of different feature data detected for the object. According to these data stored and information on correlation, the apparatus recognizes a new object, acquires a name and feature data of the new object (including a human), and stores information on correlation between them, thereby successively learning names of objects. A learning method and a robot apparatus are also disclosed.
