Сред най-интересните за нас научни теории за учене и когниция, от които могже да се види по нещо и в дизайна на УКУ, вплетено там по съвпадение или целенасочено, са:
Разпределена, Въплътена и Разширена когниция;
Социално учене по А. Бандура;
Дан-въпроси и пр.
Но има и много други интересни модели, заслужаващи проучване и изпробване - УКУ-списъкът с тях е дълъг:
