The Three Types of Learning
There is more than one type of learning. A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom (1956), identified three domains of educational activities: * Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge) * Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude) * Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
This compilation divides the three domains into subdivisions, starting from the simplest behavior to the most complex.
