Learners in the cognitive domain integrate new knowledge through first learning and then recalling the information. They then categorize and evaluate, making comparisons with previous knowledge that result in conclusions related to the new content. The psychomotor domain incorporates physical movement and the use of motor skills in learning. Teaching the newly diagnosed diabetic how to check blood sugar is an example of a psychomotor skill. Affective domain learning recognizes the emotional component of integrating new knowledge. Successful education in this domain takes into account the patient's feelings, values, motivations, and attitudes. Tools have been developed to help health care workers evaluate the health literacy of their patients. One such tool is the VARK (verbal, aural, read/write, kinesthetic) assessment of learning styles of people who are having difficulty learning.
