- Intensity: the more intense the material taught the more likely it will be retained. Classroom instruction can benefit from a variety of instructional aids to improve realism, motivate learning and challenge students. Emphasize important points with gestures, voice, demonstrations, role play analogies and personal experience

- Freedom: things freely learned are best learnt. The further a student is coerced the more difficult is for him to learn assimilate and implement. Since learning is an active process students must have freedom: of choice, of action, to bear the results of action.

- Requirement: we must have something to obtain or do something. It can be ability, skill, instrument or anything that may help us to learn or gain something.

- Readiness: Degree of concentration and eagerness. Learn best when physically, mentally and emotionally ready

- Exercise: Most things often repeated are best remembered. Basis 4 drill and practice. Should be followed by positive feedback

- Effect: based on emotional reaction of the student. Learning is strengthened when associated with pleasant feeling and weakened when associated with an unpleasant feeling. Positive reinforcement is more apt to lead to success and motivate the learner. Experiences that produce feelings of defeat, confusion, anger, futility are unpleasant

- Primacy: the state of being first, often creates a strong, almost unshakeable impression. Things learned first create a strong impression in the mind that is difficult to erase. First experience should be positive

- Recency: things most recently learned are best remembered. The closer the training or learning time is to the time of actual application the more apt the learner will be to peform successfully.
