What are the three primary learning domains addressed in Army training?

• A. Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes
• B. Physical, social, and emotional
• C. Cognitive, psychomotor, and affective
• D. Intellectual, motor, and sensory

Answer: (C)

The important idea here is the three-domain framework used to shape Army training: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Cognitive covers what you know and how you think—understanding concepts, analyzing information, solving problems. Psychomotor involves the actual physical skills and tasks you perform—manual dexterity, coordination, precision in executing procedures. Affective focuses on attitudes, values, motivation, and how you respond emotionally or ethically in training and in the field. In Army training, objectives are written to develop all three areas so a soldier not only knows procedures, can perform them correctly, but also demonstrates the right attitudes and discipline.

The other options don’t align with the standard three-domain model. While they touch on aspects like knowledge, skills, or attitudes, they don’t map to the recognized cognitive, psychomotor, and affective framework used to design and evaluate training.
