Just as there are differences in personality, there are differences in the ways that we learn and use information.
Some people are quiet and tend to be reflective in the way they process information.
Just as we have different preferences and ways of learning, we also change and adjust our learning strategies based on our own development and on the different learning situations in which we find ourselves. By understanding ourselves and becoming more aware of these differences, we become more capable of adjusting to new situations throughout our lifetime as learners. Our recognition of differences in learning tasks and our ability to match the appropriate learning strategy to the task. Our ability to monitor whether we are understanding and learning in a given situation or during the performance or a task. When we know that we do not understand, recognizing the problem and identifying a different strategy that will be more appropriate to the learning situation.
