My learning style

There are three kinds of learning style

 I am a visual learner.

What is the visual learners?
Visual learners attend to information most effectively when they see something, for example, pictures, diagrams, films and videos or demonstrations.

Characteristics of a visual learner 

Visual-spatial learners remember what they see, but forget what they hear.

Visual-spatial learners are attracted to puzzles, mazes and building with blocks, LEGO, K'Nex, and even just a roll of tape!

Visual-spatial learners have a wonderful sense of space, but not necessarily a very good sense of time.

Visual-spatial learners have a wild imagination, are "outside-the-box thinkers" and can think of numerous solutions to a single problem.

Visual-spatial learners excel in spatial tasks but may have difficulty with spelling, math facts and organizational skills.


How to study effectively for visual learners?
Visual learning is a proven method in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and represented graphically. Webs, concept maps, idea maps and plots, such as stack plots and Venn plots, are some of the techniques used in visual learning to enhance thinking and learning skills.

There are 7 steps:
1/ TAKE NOTES. When the visual learner takes notes, it connects the visual requirement with what is being heard.
2/ FLASHCARDS. When trying to remember facts, WRITE both the questions and the answers on note cards. Carry them around with you and flash them in spare moments.
3/ HIGHLIGHTERS. Create a color-code system and use those highlighters on critical information. This is color-grounding; visually connecting information through colors.
4/ Create charts and diagrams to demonstrate key points.
5/ VISUALIZE. Create mental pictures and mental movies to aid in memorization.
6/ Study in a quiet place away from visual and auditory distractions. This learner CANNOT listen to the radio/tv while studying.
7/ When listening to a lecturer, sit where you can clearly see the person, their body language and facial expressions. It helps to sit close so that there are no visual distractions.
