SightSmellHearingTasteTouch

The Five Senses

Sight Some people are visual learners, meaning

they can learn best is they see something being demonstrated.

Visual learners need to see what is being taught to them, like a math problem, if they are shown how to work it using various examples then the learner will understand it instead of if someone just gives them a formula

Visual LearnersThe best way for visual learners to

remember is by looking at images, colors and maps

For this type of learner it is best to use images instead of text whenever possible

ListeningIf you learn best by listening then you are a

auditory learnersAuditory learners can listen to a lecture and

easily learn what is important and remember almost everything that was said.

It would be best for auditory learners to use sound or rhythm in their learning

Recordings of a class lecture helps auditory learners pull more out of a class

TouchThose who learn best by touch are called

physical learnersThese people learn best by physical activityThe best way for physical learners to learn

is relate what they are learning to real life It would also help you learn if draw out

diagrams that will also help learn the required materials.

Using smell to rememberMany ignore their sense of smell, which is

natural for the brain to do.But really your sense of smell can help you

gather information about their environment.

It will also help you remember what different places smell like.

Stimulating the SensesYou must stimulate your senses while

learning or your brain will lose focus and not pay attention

It is important to know how you learn best, so you can find how to study the information your given and get the most out of it

Help with stimulating your senses

It helps all your senses to be in big, open, quite spaces to study.

It also helps to rest frequently, when you are studying for long periods of time. Take a break every 45 minutes or so to ease your mind and then hit the books again

More help with stimulating your sensesTry different types of learning methods. If

you are a visual learner try to learn by just listening and see how it works for you.

Get a positive attitude towards what your learning. Your attitude will make a large difference in what you take out of a lecture or while reading your notes
