3 Basic Learning Styles That Can Effect Your Business

Visual Learners

Visual learners rely on pictures, graphs, diagrams, and illustrations.

They like the idea of “Show me”. They will often:

*close their eyes to visualize or remember something
*find something to watch if they are bored
*they like to see what they are learning
*benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color
*are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery
*sit in the front during a presentation
*want to see “see” what is being presented.
*prefer handouts,writing on the white board, and reading.                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Auditory Learners

Kinesthetic Learners

Kinesthetic learners need to physically do something
to understand it. “Let me do it.” These learners want to

*actually touch what they’re learning.
*have the “hands on”experience.
*be active
*speak with their hands and with gestures
*remember what was done, but have difficulty recalling what was said or seen
*want to do it themselves
*rely on what they can directly experience or perform
*enjoy tasks that involve manipulating materials
*have the ability to move around
*they learn by doing
*communicate by touching
*often learn more themselves when they are teaching others what          they know
*learn from experience and physical activity

Kinesthetic learners are uncomfortable in situations (webinars) where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience.  For instance, someone may explain to you how to create a new cover photo or banner for one of your social media accounts, but you do not learn until you actually do it yourself.

Kinesthetic learners are “Doers”.
