Different ways we process information

1. Learning Modalities

3. What is Learning Modality?

4. Learning Modalities are the ways we process information to memory and there are basicaly three ways.

5. Visual Way

6. People who experience the world primarily visually like to take in information through their eyes. Visual Way

7. They like to see things written down, read books, look at pictures, diagrams and so on. The take notes (usually neatly) in order to look at them again. Visual Way

8. Auditory way

9. People who experience the world primarily auditorily like to get information through their ears. Auditory Way

10. They like to hear things being said, listen to audio, perhaps even have a chance to repeat things in their own head. They would rather record a lecture than take notes. Auditory Way

11. Kinaesthetic way

12. People who experience the world primarily kinaesthetically like to get information through their hands or bodies or emotions. Kinaesthetic Way

13. They like to touch things, move their hands or feet, walk around the room. They also take notes, not necessarily to look at them again, but because the movement of their hand across the page helps them to absorb information. Kinaesthetic Way

14. Everyone uses all three learning modalities, but generally there is one modality that is more dominant or that fosters better concentration.

15. Knowing which is your dominant modality can help you to assimilate information and communicate information better.

16. It’s pretty common to see facilitators teach in a way that is convenient for them…

17. ...but not the most effective way for the participants to absorb it!

18. Think of a teacher trying to teach the alphabet through all three learning modalities. How it would be? Let’s try some options.

19. Shows pictures, or video of the alphabet Visual Way

20. Have the students sing the alphabet Auditory Way

21. Have the students act out the letters Kinaesthetic Way

22. On an average we remember….
