Eight ways to Learn
Signal Learning: A general response to a signal Stimulus-Response Learning: A precise response to a distinct stimulus.
Chaining: A chain of two or more stimulus-response connections.
Verbal Association: Learning chains that are mainly verbal.
Discrimination Learning: The ability to make different responses to similar-appearing stimuli.
Concept Learning: A common response to a class of stimuli. Allows generalization Rule Learning. Learning a chain of two or more concepts. Also allows generalization Problem Solving. A kind of learning that requires "thinking."

◦ Attitudes: Ingrained bias towards different ideas, people, situation. Affects how someone acts towards these things.
Multiple Intelligences
Gardner’s Intelligences Description Logical-Mathematical
Logical or numerical patterns, long chains of reasoning
Linguistic Musical Spatial Bodily-kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalist
