Kolb's learning theory is categorized under which CAP domain?

• A. Affective, learning
• B. Cognitive, learning
• C. Psychomotor, learning
• D. Social, learning

Answer: (B)

Kolb's experiential learning theory centers on turning experience into knowledge through thinking and reasoning. That places it in the cognitive, learning domain of the CAP framework, which covers mental skills and knowledge. Kolb’s cycle—concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation—emphasizes constructing concepts, testing ideas, and solving problems, all of which are cognitive processes. The affective domain focuses on attitudes and emotions, the psychomotor domain on physical skills, so Kolb’s model is best described as cognitive, learning.
