Conditions of learning (R. Gagne)

This theory stipulates that there are several different types or levels of learning. Gagne suggests that learning tasks for intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy according to their complexity. From this he described a the theory that outlines nine instructional events and corresponding cognitive processes which he called the Principles of instruction. They are:
 
Gain attention
Inform learners of the objective 
Stimulate recall 
Present the stimulus 
Guide learning
Elicit performance
Provide feedback
Enhance retention
Assess performance
