\u201cTell me, and I forget, teach me, and I may remember, involve me, and I learn.\u201d \u2013Xun Kuang,\u00a0 Confucian philosopher<\/em><\/p>\n

Some people learn better with visual cues, while others need to hear something to help them absorb the material. Still, others need to involve <\/em>themselves in some capacity to truly understand how something works.<\/p>\n

This is the concept behind learning styles. Why is this important? Because discovering how you learn best paired with enough sleep can help you retain more information and improve recall.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will take an in-depth look at different learning styles and lessons that you can apply to make your learning more impactful.<\/p>\n

What are learning styles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Learning styles are the theory that describes how individuals learn new information.<\/p>\n

The concept of learning styles is popular in education \u2014 matching instruction to a particular student\u2019s learning style can help them learn more effectively. But some criticisms are important to point out before we continue.<\/p>\n

Several studies<\/a> have shown no scientific evidence to support the idea that teaching students based on their learning styles leads to improved learning.<\/p>\n

Despite these criticisms, you may find these learning styles helpful when trying to understand your own preferences. By discovering what works best for you, you can employ the study techniques you find most engaging to improve your learning experience.<\/p>\n

Improving your learning experience also requires getting the right amount of rest and sleep. In fact, Sleep Advisor<\/a> recommends 8-10 hours of sleep for high school students, and 7 or more hours for college and graduates.<\/p>\n

So when you undertake your journey to discovering your learning style, keep in mind that sleep is also essential to bring out the best in you.<\/p>\n

The seven different learning styles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Neil D. Fleming and Colleen E. Mills first described the VARK<\/a> model<\/a> in 1992. According to the VARK model, there are four learning styles: visual, auditory, reading\/writing, and kinesthetic.<\/p>\n

Beyond these four types are additional learning styles put forth by Howard Gardner\u2019s Theory of Multiple Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together, we have seven distinct learning styles:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visual (spatial)<\/li>\n
  2. Aural (auditory)<\/li>\n
  3. Verbal (linguistic)<\/li>\n
  4. Physical (kinesthetic)<\/li>\n
  5. Logical (mathematical)<\/li>\n
  6. Social (interpersonal)<\/li>\n
  7. Solitary (intrapersonal)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s take a closer look at each one.<\/p>\n

    1. Visual (spatial)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Do you learn better when instructors include images with their lessons? Do you find yourself closing your eyes to visualize an answer? If so, chances are you\u2019re a visual learner.<\/p>\n

    Visual learners learn best when there are visual cues associated with the materials they\u2019re learning. As a visual learner, you understand things better by \u201cpicturing\u201d things. This helps you retain more information and understand new concepts.<\/p>\n
