Various Types Of Learning Styles

Visual

Visual learners learn best by looking at graphics, watching a demonstration or reading.  For them it is easy to look at charts and graphs but they may have difficult focusing while listening to an explanation.

Auditory

Auditory learners would rather listen to things being explained than read about them.  Reciting info out load and having music in the background may be a common study method.  Other noises may become a distraction resulting in a need for a relatively quiet place.

Kinesthetic

These learners process information best through a 'hands on' experience.  Actually doing an activity can be the easiest way for them to learn.  Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things down makes it easier to understand.

To learn we depend on our senses to process the information around us.  Most people tend to use one of their senses more than the others.  So what is your primary style?  Sometimes people depend on two or more types of learning styles.
