Such individuals use reading, lecture and debating as a means to learn. They like developing ideas, analyzing information, drawing conclusions and writing short essays. Divergent thinking and solving and exploring problems in a open-ended way is another recognized learning style. This style is characterized by individuals who use brainstorming, predicting, writing creatively, creating analogies, finding alternatives, and creating options to learn and think. All of the learning styles are based on the fact that learning is a multisensory activity.
All messages reach the brain through the five senses.
Learning is not a passive activity. Learning is an active process. Education, in the final analysis, depends entirely on individuals taking an active part in the learning situations in which the school places them. When one encounters new ideas, facts or principles they are in a learning situation and as they react to those facts, etc. One only learns from participating in the learning situation.
