TABLE 4.1 Study Strategies by Learning Style
Visual | Aural | Read/Write | Kinesthetic |
Underline or highlight your notes. | Talk with others to verify the accuracy of your lecture notes. | Write and rewrite your notes. | Use all your senses in learning: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. |
Use symbols, charts, or graphs to display your notes. | Put your notes on audiotape, or audiotape class lectures. | Read your notes silently. | Supplement your notes with real-world examples. |
Use color to highlight important concepts. | Read your notes out loud; ask yourself questions and speak your answers. | Organize diagrams or flowcharts into statements. | Move and gesture while you are reading or speaking your notes. |
Create a graphic representation of your notes (e.g., a mind map) and redraw it from memory. | Write imaginary exam questions and respond in writing. |
