2. Notes
Creating notes of the important points while reading is a strategy that I can implement. With this
strategy, I will be able to review information easily, and have a history of the vital information that I
learned in a particular course or book.
3. Mind Mapping
By using mind mapping tools, I can create a visual of the information that I am
learning and comprehending. I can even add some images if needed to make
the learnings more “relevant” to my learning style with the ability to remember
the information.
4. Highlighting
By highlighting the most important
points as I read through my text, it
gives me the opportunity to
comprehend the information quicker,
easier, study for tests and exams, and it
also gives the black and white ink a
more visual effect and interest.
6. Cognitive Learning Style:
Visual
Visual Learners are able to learn
better through visual aids like
images, presentations and are more
likely to read instructions before
trying or using something for the
first time. They are able to put text
to their learnings once they are able
to see the visual representation.
7. Cognitive Learning Style:
Auditory
Auditory Learners use their
listening skills to obtain
information and learn. They are
more likely to comprehend
instructions better when they are
spoken.
8. Cognitive
Learning Style:
Kinesthetic
Kinesthetic Learners are more
“touchy-feely” kind of learners
and use their sense of touch to
gain knowledge. When their
lessons involve some type of
physical activity, they
comprehend information better.
9. My Personal Results
Cognitive Learning Styles
Now add up how many A’s, B’s and C’s you selected.
A’s =
18
B’s =
8
C’s = 4
Brain Dominance
You responded as a right brained person to undefined questions, and you responded as a left brained
person to undefined questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use the left side or
your brain the most. Some of the traits associated with the left side of the brain are listed in the table.
Not all of the traits will apply to you. Remember, we use both sides of our brain, but your left side gets
the most exercise.
Multiple Intelligences
Musical=4.71, Self = 4.57, Social = 4.57, Spatial = 3.86, Language = 3.71, Body Movement = 3.43,
Logic/Math = 3.29, Nature = 1.86
10. My Thoughts
Personally, I have always felt like I learned
better with visuals and through hands-on
activities. On the Multiple Intelligences
activity, I scored higher in the musical
intelligence, which is understandable
because I love music and once a rhythm or
jingle is in my head, it’s there for a
considerable timeframe.
After taking these assessments, I am going
to try implementing the auditory learning
style as well as the kinesthetic learning
style more to see if they will help with my
comprehension of information. I think that
certain learning styles may work better for
certain subjects and situations.
