What different learning styles?

Learning style theory is heated between teachers and psychologists who question the accuracy - with some psychologists calling the 'myth' learning style.



So maybe a better way to think about this will learn preferences: how people feel like learning and maintaining information. Anekdot, this is something we have. So let's look at various types of learners that you might encounter at work.



Visual student


Learn by looking


People who prefer to learn through visual means tend to like images, diagrams, and graphs to visualize information. Using a mixture of colors, tones and shapes to present information can help more visual students better understand and remember it.



How to use this in business: Think about how you present data. If you have facts and numbers to report, can you put it in a visual form too - like a graph or graph? Can you avoid 'death by PowerPoint' that is feared and refreshing your template, or even spinning into an alternative presentation tool at all? This will help you stand out.




Whether presents to other business leaders, pursuing sales opportunities or just marketing your services online, videos, and infographics can capture your attention and imagination of your audience - especially if they are visual students.





Hearing students


Study with hearing


People who prefer to learn by listening tend to like hearing information that are presented to them rather than reading it elsewhere. They may be the type of person who prefers to pick up the phone and have a conversation than a message or email back and forth.



How to use this in business: embrace the strength of people. Hearing students tend to develop in meetings and get the most out of verbal presentations, so don't be afraid to make people together to have a direct or virtual chat in real-time if you need their opinion.


In addition to in-people's communication, media like videos can help study hearing information. If you train new members of staff with this learning preference, for example, recording shopping videos or software guides or your product can help you get speed at the right time and show best practices from the first day.



Verbal student


Learn by reading and writing


People who prefer to study verbally tend to interact with information through written words. They tend to be the type of person who can absorb information properly through reading articles, whitepers or other written instructions and often found to make notes or lists with their own words to help them maintain information.



How to use this in business: remember written advanced. Keeping a thorough written note for yourself and your colleagues to refer can not only help document everything you learn, but it makes new staff up or even more consistent process customers.
