Fleming's model of learning suggests 3 types of learners :

  1. Visual: Learns by visually taking screenshots of data or by remembering pictures/scenes etc.

  2. Auditory: Learns by hearing; can be by hearing oneself speak

  3. Kinesthetic/Tactile: Learns by doing physically, experimenting or trying to convert a passive learning experience into a physically active/involved one.

I find myself to be a Tactile learner. I learn by doing, creating experiments. I struggle with imagery and audio for learning. Is there any way I can train myself to change my preferred learning type?

Pashler et al

It is worth reading the critical review of learning styles by Pashler et al. To quote some of the summary:


However, they reviewed experimental evidence comparing the learning outcomes of students that either were or were not assigned to educational interventions based on their learning style, and found almost no evidence of differences.
