I recall things best when I listen to a lecture that contains them information, clarifications, and debates . I prefer material posted on the board with visual aids and assigned readings. For visual review, I like to jot things down or take notes. In class, I prefer to use posters, models, or hands-on practice and other activities. I require diagram, graph, or visual directional explanations. I adore making things or working with my hands. Making graphs and charts is something I'm good at and enjoy doing. When presented with pairings of sounds, I can detect if they match. I recall things better when I write them down multiple times. On a map, I can readily understand and follow directions. Listening to lectures and tapes helps me the most in academic areas. In my pocket, I fiddle with coins or keys. I learn to spell better by saying the words out rather than writing them down. Reading about a news story in the newspaper or online helps me grasp it more than listening to a radio or internet report about it. While studying, I chew gum, smoke, or nibble I believe that visualizing something in my mind is the greatest method to remember it. I'd rather listen to a good lecture or speech about a topic than read about it. Rather than reading the news in a newspaper or on the internet, I prefer to listen to it on the radio or online. During study sessions, I hold objects in my hands.
