What Are Learning Styles?

Natural Strengths and Preferences

Learning styles describe how people naturally perceive, remember, understand, and order information. Everyone’s style is unique, with strengths and preferences that are easier for the individual. These characteristics are generally linked to hemispheric dominance, often referred to as right-brain and left-brain.

Terms associated with learning styles:

• Concrete | Abstract
• Sequential | Random
• Analytic | Global
• Auditory | Visual
• Kinesthetic | Tactile
• Verbal | Linguistic
• Logical | Mathematical
• Visual | Spatial

Learning styles are a combination of these characteristics; understanding a person's unique style opens the doors to learning success!
