THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
The Affective Learning Domain addresses a learner's emotions
towards learningexperiences. A learner's attitudes, interest,
attention, awareness, and values are
demonstrated by affective behaviors.
These emotional behaviors which are organized in a hierarchical
format also, starting fromsimplest and building to most complex,
are as follows:
Internalizing Valuesbehavior which is controlled by a
value system
Organizationorganizing values into order of
priority
Valuingthe value a person attaches to
something
Responding to
phenomena
taking an active part in learning;
participating
Receiving phenomenaan awareness; willingness to
listen
These five categories can be thought of in a scaffolding manner,
one must be learned in
order to move onto the next category.(Clark, 1999)

THE PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN
The psychomotor domain refers to the use of basic motor skills,
coodination,and physicalmovement. Bloom's research group did not
develop in-depth categories of this domain,
claiming lack of experience in teaching these skills. However,
Simpson (1972) developedseven psychomotor categories to support
Bloom's domain.
Originationa learner's ability to create newmovement
patterns
Adaptationa learner's ability to modify motor
skills to fit a new situation
Complex Overt Responsethe intermediate stage of learning
acomplex skill
Mechanismthe ability to perform a complexmotor skill
Guided Responsethe early stage of learning acomplex skill which
includes
imitationSet a learner's readiness to act
Perceptionthe ability to use sensory cues toguide physical
activity
