• Robert F. Mager generalized the use of learning objectives in programmed instruction.
• Bloom's committee published a classification of learning domains in 1956: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.

• Bloom's committee's classification includes cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.
• Skinner's proposal and Mager's article were published in the 1950s.
• Bloom's committee's classification is still relevant in education design.
