cognitive development Learning

What is learning? Learning take different roles as we develop in life. As a younger child we are able to learn through experiences with our hands or body (with contact) but as we mature we are able to learn by experiences we can think about or mentally. As we change we are able to apply the experiences we had to experiences others have had and learn from our mistakes by not making them again but by understanding how others actions can be applied to ours so we don't make the same mistake.

As instructors, We can effect learners by understanding where they are at developmentally and apply that to how they learn. if we have more advanced learners we can teach by examples of others but if we have beginning learners we need to have the learners experience by hands on so they can succeed and fail on their own.
