The Five Learning Styles

The social (interpersonal) learning style, of the Memletic Learning StylesVisual
A visual learner prefers to look at pictures or images of whatever the learning task is they can make alot of sense out of them. a visual learner finds it easy to visualise objects, outcomes of different things. when using a map visual learners rarely get lost. they love drawing, doodling, especially when it comes to colours. also have a good dress sense or eye for fashion.
 
Verbal
This involves both the written and spoken words. If this is your style you will notice it easy to write or speak the way you feel about yourself. also the love for playing on the meaning or sound of different words such as in tongue twisters. these type of learners know the meaning of lots of words and regularly make the effort to know the meaning of new words. You would use phrases you have picked up recently, when talking to others.
 
 Physical
If your a physical learner you use your body and sense of touch to learn about the enviroment around you. sports and exercise tend to come easy to these types of learners, and other activities such as woodworking. These leaners are more aware of the physical world around them. they notice and appreciate textures, for example in clothes or furniture, also making models, or working out jigsaws.The thought of sitting in and listening to someone else talk annoys these people, In those circumstances, you fidget or can't sit still for long.
 
Logical
If your a logical style learner, you like using your brain for mathematics. You recognise patterns easily as well as connections between meaningless content. This also leads you to classify and group information to help you learn or understand it.
You work well with numbers and you can perform complicated calculations. You remember the basics of trigonometry and algebra.

Social
You communicate well with people, both verbally and non-verbally. People listen to you and you are sensitive to their feelings or moods. You listen well and understand other's views. You typically prefer learning in groups or classes . You prefer to work through issues, ideas and problems with a group. You thoroughly enjoy working with a 'clicking' or synergistic group of people.You prefer to stay around after class and talk with others. You prefer social activities, rather than doing your own thing.
