Each person is created in a different
way and brought up with in a different way, making all of us special in a
unique way. People absorb information in a different way as well. Each person
need to understand the ways that works for them when our bodies take in
information.
There are learning styles known
as “Perceptual learning styles” that refers to how our bodies absorb
information. We have five senses that take in information.
Commonly, researchers identify
auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic learning styles. Harvard professor and
author Howard Gardner coined the term multiple intelligences to describe how we
process information after it is absorbed into our minds.
Learning styles are an answer
to this question: do you prefer to learn through movement, or through sight, or
through listening? Auditory learners are simply those who prefer to take
information in through hearing. Visual learners prefer information through
sight; and kinaesthetic learners, through movement/touch.
Most people have a dominant
and a secondary learning style, whether we are aware of it or not. Sometimes a
person’s learning preference is evenly distributed among all three learning
styles.We need to understand the styles that works perfect for you to remember all that you have learnt in the time that you need it.
