Though we see the words, most of us process the information by hearing ourselves say the words. As a result, researchers identify people who prefer to process by reading, auditory learners. Others label the readers Print-oriented, aligning them closely with visual learners. Print-oriented people depend more on words or numbers in their images. Auditory learners also fall into two categories.
Auditory learners prefer spoken messages.
The less understood auditory learners need to hear their own voice to process the information. The more prevalent type, Listeners, most likely did well in school. Out of school too, they remember things said to them and make the information their own. They may even carry on mental dialogues and determine how to continue by thinking back on the words of others. Conversely, those who need to talk it out often find themselves talking to those around them.
