Learning Styles

 What are Learning Styles?

Learning Styles are the manner in which people's brains learn and store information. Some people learn by seeing (Visual); some people learn by hearing (Auditory); some people learn by doing (Tactile/Kinesthetic). During childhood, each person advances through various stages of each style. However, each person is born with tendencies toward one main style. There is no right or wrong style. Each one has advantages and disadvantages.

Unfortunately, most people have not had information presented in the style necessarily conducive to their learning.  To determine your learning style, click here, or use one of the other inventories found here.

As you learn more about your preferred learning style, you can enhance your own learning and communication skills. You can also work to offset the disadvantages that your learning style may present.

Once you have determined your learning style, follow the links below (or at top) for style characteristics and study tips.
