Three different learning styles
There are 7 different learning styles but I am just going to focus on 3 of them, visual, auditory & kinesthetic. Everyone has a different mix of learning styles. Some may find that they have a dominant learning style. Other people may find they use different learning styles depending on the circumstances. There is no right mixture and your styles are not fixed. You can always learn to change your learning style.
I will start with the visual learning style. Visual learning style is where you prefer using pictures, images, colors and maps to organize information in order to communicate with others. Being a visual learner, you are good with maps, have a good sense of direction and hardly ever get lost. The three things that come with visual learning are: cognitive ability, cognitive style and learning preference.
Cognitive ability means you possess low or high spatial ability. You are able to visualize images and scenerios and see the outcomes. Cognitive style just means you think with words and images. You prefere to learn with text or graphics. Some pursuits of visual styles is visual art. Some examples of visual arts are photography, architecture, video or film. You are able to use mind maps meaning where ever possible you use color and images in place of text.
From infancy to adulthood you go through four stages, sensormotor, pre-operational, concrete operational and formal operational. Sensormotor stage is the infancy stage where intelligence is present and knowledge is developing but limited and is based on experiences. Preoperational stage is the toddler stage where symbols or language skills are present. Memory and imagination are developed. Non logical and egocentric thinking is predominate. Concrete operational is elementary and early adolence. It is logical and systematic form of thinking and
