ABSTRACT

The independent learning experience model provided in this book explicates independent learning experience at a thought-unit level and accounts for the interactions and movements between different forms of thought. We see how learning is an embodied experience, how efforts to learn do involve not only the learning content but also our emotions, moods, and preferences, as well as our physical state and the physical environment. This chapter provides a more detailed understanding of specific types of processing and multi-dimensions, discussing their role in the learning process, and interactions between different categories of processing. These interactions are shown to be complex – they can be non-linear and can exhibit bi-directional causality.
