Some physiological factors that affect learning are how comfortable the chairs are, how tall the cabinets are, and where one sits relative to the board. If the chairs weren’t comfortable the discomfort would make it physically unable to be sit in class. If cabinets are too tall some people may not be able to reach the cabinets comfortably enough to be as efficient as possible, so they end up wasting class time. If you sit somewhere facing perpendicular to the board you probably won't be able to see what is on the board.
Some psychological factors that can affect learning are sounds from the 3D printers in the fab lab, people talking when they aren’t supposed to, and when the A/C doesn’t work. The sounds that the 3D printers make can be random and annoying and can distract someone if Mr. Moss is talking. It is really distracting when people talk over Mr. Moss or out of turn and make it hard to hear what the person, who is supposed to be speaking, says. Sometimes the A/C in the 300 building doesn’t work and when it doesn’t it’s really hard to stay focused on what one is doing when they are at an uncomfortable temperature.
