5. Concept of Learning Visual Spatial –Visual Spatial –  use the right hemisphere to learn  think in pictures rather than words  imaginative,  have a difficult time repeating instructions  put things together in unique ways  need to understand the big picture  see an end product  process without understanding  need more time to process than visual auditory sequential learners  despise routine and repetitive tasks, these learners don’t know how they got to the finished project or goal Auditory Sequential –Auditory Sequential –  Uses the left hemisphere to learn  are analytical  think with words  Do not not pictures  Proceed step by step  learn well with instructions  relate well to time  follow oral directions  can repeat instructions

6. Questionnaire for Determining Concept of Learning (may be geared to children but can be adapted for adults )  http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Visual_Spatial/ http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Visual_Spatial/  http://www.ucanlearn.net/more_articles.php?ID=18 http://www.ucanlearn.net/more_articles.php?ID=18  Do you think mainly in pictures instead of words?  Do you know things without being able to explain how or why?  Do you solve problems in unusual ways?  Do you have a vivid imagination?  Do you remember what you see and forget what you hear?  Are you terrible at spelling?  Can you visualize objects from different perspectives?  Are you organizationally impaired?  Do you often lose track of time?  Would you rather read a map than ask for a verbal direction?  Do you remember how to get to places you only visited once?  Is your handwriting slow and is it difficult for others to read?  Can you feel what others are feeling?  Are you musically, artistically or mechanically inclined?  Do you know more than others think you know?  Do you hate speaking in front of groups?  Did you feel smarter as you got older?  Are you addicted to your computer?  Answering yes to 10 of the above questions means the person is likely to be a visual-spatial learner.  From Linda Silverman, in her book Upside-Down Brilliance http://www.ucanlearn.net/more_articles.php?ID=18 http://www.ucanlearn.net/more_articles.php?ID=18
