Learning Styles


There are 3 types of learning styles these are;

Visual
Kinesthetic
Auditory


Visual learners use visual references a lot, the like to see tutorials, diagrams, slides, charts and other visual aids. They take great notes and often color code them. They benefit by drawing outlines of their notes and create pictures of processes to help them study.

Kinesthetic learners  learn best by touching and moving. It has two sub channels: Kinesthetic (movement) and tactile (touch). They lose concentration if there isn’t much movement going on. When they have to listen to lecturers they often take notes just to move their hands. When they read they skim the book first and then focus on the details.

Auditory learners often talk to themselves and move there lips around and read out loud. Auditory learners may have difficulty with reading and writing tasks. They do better when they talk to colleagues or a tape recorder/dicterphone.

My personal learning style is Visual, I found this out by taking a test back in College.
This means when I learn I like to watch someone else do it first, and then do it myself. I have heard it being explained as monkey see monkey do, which it more or less it.
