Benjamin Bloom was the head of a committee of colleges in 1956; they came up with the idea that there are three basic domains or areas of learning. This is known as Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains.
Each category or area has certain skills, and each skill must be learned before you can move on and learn the next one; in other words, you have to learn each set of skills in order.
Under each category, there will be a list of "Key Words" which will give you clear examples of what sort of behavior fits into each one; these can also be used as behavioral objectives when you are teaching these skills.
Knowledge - being able to recall facts and information; being able to memorize
Key Words: defines, describes, identifies, knows, labels, lists, matches, names, outlines, recalls, recognizes, reproduces, selects, states
Comprehension - being able to understand meanings, translate, interpolate, and interpret instructions and problems; being able to state something in your own words
Key Words: comprehends, converts, defends, distinguishes, estimates, explains, extends, generalizes, gives Examples, infers, interprets, paraphrases, predicts, rewrites, summarizes, translates.
Application - being able to use a concept in a new situation; being able to take what you learned in school and use it in real life
Key Words: applies, changes, computes, constructs, demonstrates, discovers, manipulates, modifies, operates, predicts, prepares, produces, relates, shows, solves, uses.
Analysis - being able to separate material or concepts into component parts so that you can understand the organizational structure; being able to tell the difference between facts and inferences or hypotheses
Key Words: analyzes, breaks down, compares, contrasts, diagrams, deconstructs, differentiates, discriminates, distinguishes, identifies, illustrates, infers, outlines, relates, selects, separates
Synthesis - being able to take different facts and ideas and create a structure or pattern; being able to build a structure or pattern from parts
Key Words: categorizes, combines, compiles, composes, creates, devises, designs, explains, generates, modifies, organizes, plans, rearranges, reconstructs, relates, reorganizes, revises, rewrites, summarizes, tells, writes.
Evaluation - being able to make logical judgments about the value of ideas or information
Key Words: appraises, compares, concludes, contrasts, criticizes, critiques, defends, describes, discriminates, evaluates, explains, interprets, justifies, relates, summarizes, supports.
this area involves emotions and the way that we handle them. There are five categories of emotional learning.
Receiving - being aware, willingness to take in information, and able to pay attention
Key Words: asks, chooses, describes, follows, gives, holds, identifies, locates, names, points to, selects, sits, erects, replies, uses.
Responding - being an active participant; being willing to respond to things
Key Words: answers, assists, aids, complies, conforms, discusses, greets, helps, labels, performs, practices, presents, reads, recites, reports, selects, tells, writes
Valuing - being able to attach worth or value to things; this ranges from just accepting things all the way to being totally committed
Key Words: completes, demonstrates, differentiates, explains, follows, forms, initiates, invites, joins, justifies, proposes, reads, reports, selects, shares, studies, works.
Organizing - being able to make priorities, resolve conflicts, and create a value system
Key Words: adheres, alters, arranges, combines, compares, completes, defends, explains, formulates, generalizes, identifies, integrates, modifies, orders, organizes, prepares, relates, synthesizes.
Internalizing - having your own internal value system which controls your behavior; your value system must be consistent, predictable, lasting, and unique to your own mind
Key Words: acts, discriminates, displays, influences, listens, modifies, performs, practices, proposes, qualifies, questions, revises, serves, solves, verifies.
(not actually included in Bloom's original work, but created in 1972 by E.J. Simpson) - this area involves physical movement, coordination, and motor skills. These skills can all be measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. There are seven categories.
Perception - being able to use your senses to guide your movements; being aware of the world around you as you move
Key Words: chooses, describes, detects, differentiates, distinguishes, identifies, isolates, relates, selects
Set - being ready to act; this includes your "mindset," which means physical, mental, and emotional readiness
Key Words: begins, displays, explains, moves, proceeds, reacts, shows, states, volunteers.
Guided Response - practicing the skills by imitation and trial and error; this is the early stage of learning a physical skill
Key Words: begins, displays, explains, moves, proceeds, reacts, shows, states, volunteers.
Mechanism - being able to perform skills by habit, with confidence, and proficiently; this is the intermediate stage of learning a physical skill
Key Words: assembles, calibrates, constructs, dismantles, displays, fastens, fixes, grinds, heats, manipulates, measures, mends, mixes, organizes, sketches.
Complex Overt Response - skillful performance of complicated movements; proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and automatic performance.
Key Words - the same as for Mechanism, but with adverbs or adjectives that indicate you have become faster or better
Adaptation - being skillful enough to adapt the movements to your own body or style; being able to modify movements to suit your specific needs
Key Words: adapts, alters, changes, rearranges, reorganizes, revises, varies.
Origination - creating new movement patterns to fit a specific problem or situation; being creative and using highly developed physical skills
Key Words: arranges, builds, combines, composes, constructs, creates, designs, initiate, makes, originates.
The three types of learning are visual (learning through seeing), auditory (learning through hearing), and kinesthetic (learning through doing and experiencing).
1. by seeing
2. by hearing
3. by touching
Some common learning disorders include dyslexia (difficulty with reading), dysgraphia (difficulty with writing), and dyscalculia (difficulty with math). Additionally, conditions such as ADHD and auditory processing disorder can also affect learning.
Gagne's learning theory outlines five types of hierarchies: verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. Each hierarchy represents a different type of learning outcome and suggests different instructional strategies to achieve mastery.
Place learning, latent learning, and insight learning all support cognitive theories of learning because they emphasize the role of mental processes such as memory, problem-solving, and understanding in the learning process. These types of learning involve understanding, organizing, and using information in a meaningful way rather than just forming basic associations or responses, which aligns with cognitive theories that focus on the active processing of information by the learner.
The two different learning skills are cognitive skills, which involve mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem-solving, and emotional skills, which involve understanding and managing emotions to enhance learning and performance. Both types of skills are important for effective learning and academic success.
In British Columbia, the three principles of learning are intellectual engagement, social responsibility, and a sense of personal and collective identity. These principles guide teaching and learning practices in the province to promote holistic development and well-rounded education for students.
The three main types of learning disorders are reading disorders, mathematics disorders, and disorders of written expression

There are three types of knowledge namely: explicit knowledge, tacit knowledge, and embedded knowledge. Knowledge refers to the psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning.
There are three main types of learners: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. To incorporate all three styles, look for learning activities that involve detailed visuals, recitation, and hands-on learning such as presentations, lectures, and interactive demonstrations.

Wikipedia lists 178 different types of schools and learning centers. You can see this listing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:School_types. Not all are American school types, but nonetheless are learning centers/
does learning takes place in three stages?
The three learning domains were theorized by Psychologist Benjamin Bloom in the year of 1956. The cognitive, affective and psychomotor make up the three learning domains.
NLD( nonverbal learning disorder), dyscalculia, and dyslexia.
Bloom's Taxonomy was named after Benjamin Bloom. Bloom put the types of learning into levels. So at the bottom of the pile is knowledge the least important way of learning, whereas evaluation is the most effective way.
