Neil D. Fleming

…Why you have difficulty learning from a particular instructor, whereas another seems to explain things in just the right way?

Have you ever wondered…

…Did you ever question why the course that your friend said was so easy turned into a struggle for you?

…Do you notice that you and your roommate have different opinions on whether or not to have the radio on while you're studying?

Have you ever wondered…

3 learning style preferences

• Auditory learners would rather listen to things being explained than read about them.

• Reciting information out loud and having music in the background is a common study method.

• Other noises may become a distraction.

Auditory (learning by hearing)

• Visual learners learn best by looking at graphics, watching a demonstration, or reading.

• For them, is easy to look and interpret charts and graphs.

• They may have difficulty focusing while listening to an explanation.

Visual (learning by seeing)

• Kinesthetic learners process information best through a “hands-on” experience.

• Actually doing an activity can be the easiest way for them to learn.

• Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things down makes it easier to understand.

Kinesthetic (learning by doing)
