David A. Kolb

David A. Kolb is a psychologist who developed a theory about how people learn through experience. His model suggests that learning is a continuous cycle involving four key stages: concrete experience (doing or feeling), reflective observation (thinking about the experience), abstract conceptualization (understanding and forming theories), and active experimentation (trying out what you've learned). According to Kolb, individuals have preferred ways of learning based on these stages, influencing how they approach new information or skills. His work helps educators and trainers design more effective, personalized learning experiences.
