Stevick's Levertov Machine

 * //__Notes:__//** The "Rheostat" in this model turns up attention and hence acquisition and output capabilities. Social forces are important: How learners feel about school and learning, and also the reactions of others during communication. What we acquire and what we learn interact with each other. Reactions to our output aid both acquistion and learning. (Stevick, 1980, pp. 270-279.)
