What's+your+learning+Style?

Generally speaking, only three of your five senses are used in learning, storing, remembering, and recalling information: sight, hearing, and touch. Your eyes, ears, and sense of touch play essential roles in the way you communicate, perceive reality, and relate to others. Because you learn from and communicate best with someone who shares your dominant modality, it’s a great advantage for you to know the characteristics of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles and to be able to identify them in others.
