Learning styles are identified across which three domains in the taxonomy of education objectives?

• A. Verbal, mathematical, spatial.
• B. Emotional, behavioral, spiritual.
• C. Cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.
• D. Physical, social, linguistic.

Answer: (C)

Learning objectives are grouped into three domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. The cognitive domain covers knowledge and thinking skills—from remembering and understanding to applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills and coordination. The affective domain deals with attitudes, values, and motivation. This three-domain framework helps educators design instruction and assessments that address thinking, doing, and feeling aspects of learning. The other options lean toward modalities or broad descriptors rather than the formal taxonomy: verbal, mathematical, and spatial are content or intelligence-style labels; emotional, behavioral, and spiritual mix affective-like elements but don’t map to the standard three-domain structure; physical, social, and linguistic are broader categories not the three canonical domains.
