What does "Intensity" refer to in the laws of learning?

"Intensity" in the context of the laws of learning pertains to the vividness of the learning experience. It highlights how impactful and engaging the learning situation is for the learner. A more intense learning experience—characterized by strong sensory stimulation, emotional engagement, or active participation—tends to lead to better retention and understanding of the material. When learners are presented with vivid or memorable situations, whether through exciting demonstrations, relatable analogies, or hands-on activities, they are more likely to grasp concepts and remember them over time.

In contrast, the level of difficulty, emotional engagement, and separation of theory from practice, though they contribute to the overall learning experience, do not directly relate to the "intensity" of the experience in the same way. Intensity specifically emphasizes how memorable and striking an experience can be for the learner, which in turn enhances the effectiveness of the learning process.
