Well I’m a man so it depends if it’s a man or a woman. If it’s a woman I just pretend to listen and nod while glancing at her chest. The nipples are like tea leaves. They tell me everything I need to know. :)
I’m a mix, but when professors use so many visual aids in class it bothers me. If they constantly pause to write things on the board they just said or (please say it ain’t so) if they put on a PowerPoint presentation, I just shut off. In classroom settings, I just learn better with lectures.
@Cruiser “Learn by Doing” is my univerity’s motto :)
I learn best by asking questions and listening to the answer. I form the visual part of my learning in my mind. I don’t like just being presented with the raw facts though, or silly little analogies, I prefer the speaker to explain things in their own words and to present a greater depth of knowledge than is necessarily required to understand the concept. I often find that learning complex things makes their simpler components much easier to understand.
There are four types of learners. Reflective Observation , Abstract Conceptualization, Common Sense Learners,and Active Experimentation. We all have different styles of learning. Transmission, acquisition, accretion and emergence.
I learn better by seeing and imitating than listening but it depends on what Im trying to learn. @SeventhSense you are so right. I think I still have that text book too…
Depends. i.e. In linguistic lesson you need more listening adaptation than visual adaptation,in chemistry lesson you need the contrary. Girl.I don’t think than our gender has anything to do with our method preferences.
I learn best by doing either with [hearing] a teacher or alone with a manual, next by reading [including visuals], and last by lecturing [including visuals].
I am female.
