Visual learners process new information by reading and watching. These learners relate best to written information, notes, diagrams, and pictures. Seeing a teacher's body language and facial expressions often helps them understand a lecture's content. They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays and handouts. Visual learners may take detailed notes during a lecture because it helps them absorb the information.
Auditory learners process new information by hearing.
They learn best through lectures and discussions. Often, information written down is confusing and has little meaning until it is heard. It may help auditory learners to use a tape recorder or read written information out loud. Kinesthetic learners process new information by imitation and practice. They relate best to a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them.
