strong, almost unshakable, impression. Things
learned first create a strong impression. Means that is
difficult to erase. This means that what is taught
must be right the first time.

most recently learners are best remembered.
Conversely, the further a student is removed time
wise from a new fact or understanding, the more
difficult it is to remember.
 Intensity: the principle of intensity implies that a
student will learn the real thing than from a
substitute. For example a student can get more
understanding and appreciation of a movie by
watching it than by reading the script.

freedom to bear the results of action- these
are the three great freedoms that constitute
personal responsibility. If no freedom is
granted, students may have little interest in
learning.
