Learning Theories - Visual representation for 9/13

Here is the link to my visual representation of Chapter 4. I really found it interesting to look at the components that are similar across the different learning theories.

A little disclaimer about all the different colors - the tealish colored shapes are the ones that are different from one learning theory to another, while the other colors that are the same are ones that I found similar from one learning theory to another. I hope this is not too confusing. Let me know if I am missing anything, and I will modify as needed. Thanks, and see you guys tomorrow!
