The three types of learning

The article is mainly about Benjamin Bloom. He identified the three domains of educational activities : congitive, affective & psychomotor. It is about Bloom's taxonomy of learning domains.
In 1956 (Bloom), the congitive domain involves knowledge and the developement of intellectual skills, which include six major categories: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis & evaluation. In 1973 (Bloom with Krathwohl & Maisa) includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, which include five major categories: Recieving Phenomena, Responding to phenomena, valuing, organization, & internalizing values.
In 1972 (simpson), the psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor- skill areas, which include seven major categories: perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptaion, & origination.
In 1975 (Dave), includes: imitation, manipulation, precision, articulation, naturalization.
In 1972 (Harrow's): reflex movments, fundamental movements, perception, physical abilities, skilled movments, no discursive communication.

Lori Anderson revised Blooms work & made it much more understanding and accurate.
