I agree with my results from “learning-style-online.com” testing because I am more of a visual and physical learner than an auditory learner. First of all I am not much of a “social” worker (as in group and partner work) but I like to be alone when I am studying or learning. When other people are present I cannot concentrate and have to constantly fight my urges to chat with them or not to eaves drop on their conversations. I don’t deliberately put an effort into other people’s little chats but it’s extremely hard to concentrate on the textbook in front of me when so much more (sometimes interesting and other times random) is going on around me, occupying my ears and concentration. That is why I prefer to study or learn alone with one-on-one help from the teacher.
I am also a physical learner, because I like to learn from “hands-on” experiences and it helps me to remember from my memory. I guess, in a way, it’s like an “easier way” to memorize because I’m not forcing my brain to suck it up but I’m recalling it from my own memory and from my own experience. For example, labs really help me memorize and learn the material in biology and environmental science because I able to physically perform the experiments and observe the results myself.
Auditory learning is probably my second best learning strategy. During class, the lectures help when the teacher is in front of me and with the overhead to explain the diagrams. When there is a diagram or chart that needs to be explained, I feel like it is best when someone is there to explain with words rather than write it all out on book. So it really depends on when and what I’m trying to learn because I use different strategies for various scenarios.
My favorite learning strategy is probably logic and reasoning because I love to apply one concept to many different scenarios. The concepts are like puzzles that fit right snug with each other and a missing piece is always easy to replace with the pieces beside it. They flow right into place and there is little confusion when it is all linked together. One thing happens because of this and so on and I like how the concepts are all interdependent on each other.
I’m not quite sure why my verbal is so low though. What is the difference between auditory and verbal?
