Gagne identified several types of learning, including motor skills, verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, attitudes, and motor skills, which encompass all the options listed (B, C, and D). Therefore, when "All of the below" is an option and all listed types are correct, it is the correct choice.

Question 9

There is no one theory of learning that can be applied to any training programme.

A)all of the below.
B)models being the same race and gender as the trainee.

Accepted Answer

Bandura's social learning theory suggests that learning is enhanced when trainees can identify with their models. This includes models being of the same race and gender as the trainee, being of high status, and being perceived as friendly and helpful. These factors increase the likelihood that the trainee will attend to, and learn from, the model's behavior.
