Different Types of Learners

There is recognizably three different types of learning: Kinesthetic learners, visual learns and audible learners. I researched into this more in hopes this will give me a further understanding of what might be including in my cooking book.


Kinesthetic Learners
- Also known as tactile learning.
- Learn by carrying out a physical activity rather than listening or watching.
- Make up about 5% of the population.
- It helps them to move around when learning.
- Good hand-eye coordination.
- Often restless, fidgeting etc. 
- May be good at repairing work, sculpting, art or working with various tools.
- Interactive design may appeal to them.

Auditory Learners
- A person who learns through listening.
- Learn through hearing and speaking.
- Can hear changes in tones, rhythm.
- Can work better with noise in the background e.g. music or TV. This helps them concentrate more.
- Often good at storytelling.
- May talk to themselves or move their lips and read out loud.

Visual Learners
- Learn through written language, such as reading and writing tasks.
- Prefer using images, pictures, colours and maps to organise information. Likes visual support.
- Learn best through seeing.
- Usually take not for lectures.


I personally identify as mainly an auditory learner, with parts of a visual learner too. I think that it is important to keep in mind that people learn through different means and find a way to incorporate these different elements into designs.
