Hi, Professor Seymour Epstein at the University of Massachusetts has a groundbreaking theory of intelligence called Cognitive Experiential Self Theory (CEST), which suggests that we have an experiential mind and a rational mind. Our experiential mind learns directly, thinks quickly, pays attention to the outcome, and forgets slowly. Our rational mind learns indirectly, thinks deliberately, pays attention to the process, and forgets rapidly. Epstein's contention is that you need both your minds. Games and interactive strategies appeal directly to the experiential mind. When combined with debriefing discussions, they provide a powerfully balanced approach to whole-brain learning.
Now, trainers, don't you think this theory is for you only?

It is useful when you are designing a training. I think experiences without reflections teach little. So it is not mere experience that provides you learning but your reflections on the experience that provide you learning.

Agreed. In reality, it is the application of the new process that has been learned that will assist with the retention and usefulness of the process. An individual can learn many things, but if they are not put into practice, they will be lost regardless of how useful they once were.
