Notes

WEEK 5

*Visual* learners learn through visualizing, either seeking out external images or creating mental images of the thing they’re learning. They score high in spatial intelligence.
*Auditory* learners learn best by listening and responding orally, either to other people or to the voices in their own heads.
*Kinesthetic* learners learn best by doing. As the name suggests, they score high in bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

*PROCESSİNG*
*Contextual-global* learners are sometimes described as “parachutists”: they see the big picture, as if they were floating high above it, and often care less about the minute details.
*Sequential-detailed or linear* learners prefer to control the learning process as much as possible by doing only one thing at a time: focusing on a single task until it is finished, and proceeding through that task one step at a time
*Conceptual or abstract* learners process information most effectively at high levels of generality and at a great distance from the distractions of practical experience.
*Concrete* learners prefer to process information by handling it in as tangible a way as possible.
In any interaction, your *response* to the information you’ve taken in and processed will be the action you take.
*Externally referenced* learners respond to informational input largely on the basis of other people’s expectations and attitudes. Societal norms and values control their behavior to a great extent.
*Internally referenced* learners develop a more personal code of ethics or sense of personal integrity, and respond to input based on their internal criteria – which may or may not deviate sharply from societal norms and values, depending on the situation.
*Matchers* respond most strongly to similarities, consistencies, groupings, belongingness. They are likely to agree with a group or an established opinion, because discordance feels wrong to them.
*Mismatchers* respond most strongly to dissimilarities, inconsistencies, deviations, individuality.
*Impulsive-experimental* learners respond to new information through trial and error: rather than reading the instructions or asking for advice, they jump right in and try to make something happen.
*Analytical-reflective* learners prefer to respond more slowly and cautiously: their motto is “look before you leap.”
