Psychomotor learning occurs when patients acquire skills that require the integration of know-ledge and physical skills. Affective learning includes the patient's feelings, attitudes, opinions, and values. Cognitive learning includes what the patient knows and understands. All intellectual behaviors are in the cognitive domain. A patient's motivation to learn is an important factor; however, it is not a type of learning; it helps to determine if the patient is prepared and willing to learn.
