At this point we believe that we have made a case for a unified learning model around the concept of working memory wherein working memory capacity, prior knowledge , and allocation account for learning. It is extremely unlikely that any of our readers have come from this perspective. The purpose of this book is to introduce this unified learning model. Most readers will have at least some, if not much, of their training rooted in notions that use different perspectives and vocabularies. So far as we know, no other model accounts for motivation in the same way as the unified learning model. The purpose of this chapter is to try to tie the notions of the ULM and its vocabulary to other concepts, ideas, and theories with which our readers are more familiar.
