Type of Learner?

[Sapphire Faerie]

I have a slightly photographic memory, so it really lends me to being a visual learner.

[Bangel]

Yeah. I don't think I fit in with any of them. I learn things by writing them down. If I write something down, my chances of forgetting it are incredibly low. I don't consider that to really fit in to any of the options in the poll.

From what I've read, that's tactile, because you're actually writing it out. (you're reading it, too, but you could just read it instead of writing it out while you're reading it... um, well anyways, my textbook says writing is tactile XD)

Not really. Me writing about the American Revolution is not me actually being a part of the American Revolution (which is what tactile learning would be).

Er, that does not really make any sense to me, tactile learning can be applied to anything just as the rest. Obviously you can't participate in the American revolution or any other historical event etc. so you have to take to other methods; thus you write about it which is a tactile learning method.

As for me, I'm an auditory learner, most of what I learn in school I get by listening carefully to what the teacher says during the lesson.

I learn best by hearing the teacher teach the lesson, and taking notes on it. By hearing it explained and writing it down as well I've found I only needed to go over the subject once, lightly, just before the test.

I learn by.. repetitive painful error.

Break a bone enough by jumping off the banister, I'll eventually stop jumping off it.

Smash my head enough the wall hard enough to give me a concussion, eventually I'll stop smashing it.


You tell me that though? No.

No idea what its called.

Tactile, perhaps, Jen.

Interestingly enough, I happened to talk about this with a friend today. I learn best when I use a combination of all three. Last year, I had a brilliant history teacher who would show us diagrams and make us read different things (visual), while she told us several bits of extra information and explained all the things we didn't understand (auditory), and at the same time, we would be copying those diagrams and notes down (tactile). In the end, I had only a few sheets of notes for each section, but I could tell you a whole string of other things and how everything interlinked with one another. I'm bored and start to switch off if there's only one or two of those types of learning in the classroom.

[Christopher]

I'd say I only learn slightly from each.

Or that I learn nothing.

[g-ska]

visual... if I can see it, I can learn it.

[Maureen]

Tactile, definaltely. That's the only way I ever understand anything.
