Learning computer???

Does the ECM "learn" as you dirve the car? I think I read this in a ford manaual some time ago. If our ECMs can learn, is this function of the ECM seperate from the prom? Or does the prom have total control over settings?? Just wondering.

Don't even try to relate ford to gm ecms.

The GM ecms learn slight fuel corrections to maintain an average 14.7:1 AFR.

PCMs which are a different animal have some actual self tuning.
