=== Critique ===

One critique is that the model oversimplifies the learning process by assuming that it occurs linearly and sequentially while learning is often more complex and iterative in reality <ref> Fenwick, T. (2001). Experiential learning: A theoretical critique from five perspectives. Information Series No. 385. ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED464321.pdf </ref>. Additionally, the model may not adequately account for individual differences in learning styles and preferences and may not apply to all learning situations.

Secondly, the model is too focused on cognitive processes and may neglect the role of affective and motivational factors in learning. For example, emotions, attitudes, and beliefs may significantly shape an individual's learning experience, but the model does not explicitly account for these factors.

Lastly, the model is overly prescriptive and may not allow for the flexibility and creativity necessary for effective learning. By emphasizing a particular learning cycle, the model may not adequately account for the diverse approaches and strategies that individuals may use to learn and problem-solve.
