Also, if they use a different method than those listed, they describe it so that we can discuss which modality they likely used. For example, they may have learned a new activity by listening to directions before their injury.

Again, they are to think of specific related examples before they choose the answers. In general, auditory-verbal processors learn information best through words or sounds.
Visual processors learn best through pictures, patterns and mental images.
Kinesthetic processors learn best by demonstration, movement and practice. Next we discuss what to do with this information. He notes successes now are usually when he uses kinesthetic processing and some visual processing. Learning this information will assist him in many ways. First, he has learned that his brain prefers to use auditory-verbal processing.
