**Overview**

In Robert Gagne's book,**The Conditions of Learning **, when it was first published in 1965, it identified the mental conditions for learning. These were based on the information processing model of the mental events that occur when adults are presented with various stimuli. Gagne created a nine-step process called the events of instruction, which correlate to and address the conditions of learning.

__**Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction** __

 * === **Instructional Event** === || === **Internal Mental Process** === ||
 * ===== 1. Gain attention ===== || ===== Stimuli activates receptors ===== ||
 * ===== 2. Inform learners of objectives ===== || ===== Creates level of expectation for learning ===== ||
 * ===== 3. Stimulate recall of prior learning ===== || ===== Retrieval and activation of short-term memory ===== ||
 * ===== 4. Present the content ===== || ===== Selective perception of content ===== ||
 * ===== 5. Provide "learning guidance" ===== || ===== Semantic encoding for storage long-term memory ===== ||
 * ===== 6. Elicit performance (practice) ===== || ===== Responds to questions to enhance encoding and verification ===== ||
 * ===== 7. Provide feedback ===== || ===== Reinforcement and assessment of correct performance ===== ||
 * ===== 8. Assess performance ===== || ===== Retrieval and reinforcement of content as final evaluation ===== ||
 * ===== 9. Enhance retention and transfer to the job ===== || ===== Retrieval and generalization of learned skill to new situation ===== ||
