The second Lego is actually three Legos stuck together: the three domains of learning.
The cognitive and affective domains are pretty straightword and refer to thinking and feeling, respectively. It seems the original authors were referring to sports, PE, slug-bug, flinch, man-or-mouse, wedgies, and many other physical activities found in junior high schools when referring to the psychomotor domain. I haven't read deeply enough into the literature to completely make this jump, but I suspect he psychomotor domain could also refer to other types of behaviors. It suits my purposes to think of it as behavioral rather than purely physical.
The following is a lifted chunk of text on the topic.
There is more than one type of learning. A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom (1956), identified three domains of educational activities:
I believe these three domains are important considerations when writing about selective exposure, if for nothing more than frameworks for explaining the motivations or determinants, as well as the effects, of selective exposure to mediated information.
