q1 i? When one adult learner shares in what another has thought and felt, the sharer's own attitude is modified, and formulating experience for communication requires seeing it as another would see it. → Ellis 2012

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument quoted from Dewey within the essay's discussion of connecting adult experiences to learning; the article offers no empirical test, presenting this as a philosophical account of how "his own attitude modified" occurs through shared experience.

"One shares in what another has thought and felt and in so far, meagerly or amply, has his own attitude modified. The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated."
