3. Visual Learners  take numerous detailed notes  tend to sit in the front  are usually neat and clean  often close their eyes to visualize or remember something  find something to watch if they are bored  like to see what they are learning  benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color  are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery  prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic distraction  find passive surroundings ideal

4. Auditory Learners  sit where they can hear but needn't pay attention to what is happening in front  may not coordinate colors or clothes, but can explain why they are wearing what they are wearing and why  hum or talk to themselves or others when bored  acquire knowledge by reading aloud  remember by verbalizing lessons to themselves (if they don't they have difficulty reading maps or diagrams or handling conceptual assignments like mathematics).

5. Kinesthetic Learners  need to be active and take frequent breaks  speak with their hands and with gestures  remember what was done, but have difficulty recalling what was said or seen  find reasons to tinker or move when bored  rely on what they can directly experience or perform  activities such as cooking, construction, engineering and art help them perceive and learn  enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials  sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and move around  are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience  communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed encouragement, such as a pat on the back
