Here's a quick overview of the three learning
channels:
VISUAL
Visual learners take in information best with
their eyes. They love to watch someone else do
something before they try it themselves. They
love color and are typically organized. Visuals
often maintain a neat appearance will use visual
language when they talk..."I
see"...."Imagine"..."Look at this."
AUDITORY
Auditory learners use their ears to take in
information. They love to listen to others and
often like to talk a bit themselves. They need
to talk with others to cement what they are
learning and are easily distracted by noise in
the learning environment. Auditory people use
language like, "I hear what you're
saying"..."Listen to me".
KINESTHETIC
These learners need to move their bodies to keep
their brains fully functioning. Most kids in a
classroom are highly kinesthetic and have a hard
time sitting and listening for long periods of
time. Kinesthetic people dress with comfort in
mind (loose) and often use language like, "I
feel tired"..."Can I try that?"
Remember, your
brain uses all three of these channels...all of
the time. Now that you know your preferred
learning style, you can use that to your
advantage any time you're trying to learn
something new.
