Can you state the ways that people learn – how do we take in information?
VAK Learning Model This model has three main categories: Visual learners Auditory learners Kinaesthetic learners Visual learners memorise by seeing pictures; may be fast paced or impatient; often struggle to remember verbal instructions because their minds tend to wander. Auditory learners learn by listening and memorise by steps, procedures and sequence; usually like music and talking on the telephone; typically talk to themselves. Kinaesthetic learners memorise and learn by ‘doing it’ or ‘walking through something’; may be laid back and nonchalant.
