Question "Learning" ECU

I just was thinking.. should I take my battery off and take a fuse out (not sure which one you need to take out, maybe some can tell me) to reset my computer.
If our cars learn our driving behavior should mine be reset?

Just disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes. The only thing is everything will reset.
