Learn In My Own Way
It is so
amazing to know that every learner has their own preferred way to acquire
learning. An astonishing realization I have figure out when I studied the
different learning styles of learners.
By recognizing and understanding
your own learning styles, you can use techniques better suited to you. This
improves the speed and quality of your learning.
The Seven Learning Styles
·
Visual
(spatial): You prefer using pictures, images,
and spatial understanding.
·
Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
·
Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
·
Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
·
Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
·
Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
·
Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
Why Learning Styles? Understand the basis of learning styles
Your
learning styles have more influence than you may realize. Your preferred styles
guide the way you learn. They also change the way you internally represent
experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose. We
explore more of these features in this chapter.
Research
shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By
involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn.
Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key
areas of the brain responsible for each learning style.
For
example:
·
Visual: The occipital lobes at the back of the brain manage the
visual sense. Both the occipital and parietal lobes manage spatial orientation.
·
Aural: The temporal lobes handle aural content. The right temporal
lobe is especially important for music.
·
Verbal:
The temporal and frontal lobes,
especially two specialized areas called Broca�s and Wernicke�s areas (in
the left hemisphere of these two lobes).
·
Physical: The cerebellum and the motor cortex (at the back of the
frontal lobe) handle much of our physical movement.
·
Logical: The parietal lobes, especially the left side, drive our
logical thinking.
·
Social: The frontal and temporal lobes handle much of our social
activities. The limbic system (not shown apart from the hippocampus) also influences
both the social and solitary styles. The limbic system has a lot to do with
emotions, moods and aggression.
·
Solitary: The frontal and parietal lobes, and the limbic system, are
also active with this style.
