    • @troyadams19
      @troyadams19 7 лет назад +18

      26% of the worlds population is currently illiterate, and for most of human history the majority of the population was illiterate, and before that writing didn't exist. So it's actually the norm to learn languages without ever seeing the written version.

    • @Samzz4
      @Samzz4 7 лет назад +1

      Troy Adams Good point, but what I meant by learning a language was the words themselves.
      That's why for the most of human history there also existed specific known as "literate" writers for queens and kings through the ages. Because they did NOT know the letters, they in turn did NOT know the words. At most they would only know how to speak a language without a very wide vocabulary. They simply never used visual learning to actually learn the letters and write things themselves. They only heard the words and therefore could only speak it.

  • @a2rhombus2
    @a2rhombus2 7 лет назад +6

    I feel like the ability to learn better from visual stuff goes back to more primitive times when verbal communication was less of a thing. I'm talking like, before language, or around the time of proto-language, when literally all we could do was show or watch how to do things. The ones that were able to learn well this way were the ones that survived.

  • @danielalonso3560
    @danielalonso3560 7 лет назад +3

    My hypothesis is that learning styles are actually dependent on the topic rather than the student. Some topics are better taught visually than textually, and others are taught better vice-versa.

    • @maymm4563
      @maymm4563 Год назад

      Yeah ,exactly it depends on the thing you learn

  • @RoxanneRichardson
    @RoxanneRichardson 7 лет назад

    How I learn best depends on the type of material I'm learning. If I'm learning something completely new, for which I have no context, I need all the help I can get to understand the concept. If I'm learning something new about a topic with which I have a great deal of familiarity, I can build the visuals I need in my head, based on the existing context. For example, I'm terrible with auditory instructions, if I need directions to a place where I have never been. The third instruction to turn left or right, and I'm lost, I can't remember what was said, I need a map, but if the new place is in a neighborhood I'm familiar with, I can drive there in my head as the person tells me where I'll need to turn. If what I am learning is a task that requires me to physically do something, then I have to physically do it to learn it, even if I think I understand what to do by watching someone else. Listening to a lecture, it helps me to physically write what I hear, so that I can see the words, and then retain the information.

    I don't really consider memorizing to be learning. Or at most, it's a lower type of learning, and not the most important type of learning. A lot of these "learning" studies are just testing memorization, so I think they're not really that useful.

    Would you guys do a video on un-diagnosed adult Autism Spectrum Disorder?
    I'm 33 and going to my doctor next week because I'm concerned that I'm on the low end of the spectrum; maybe a high-functioning autistic. I feel that I've had way too many of the symptoms over my life for it to be coincidence or a combination of other issues.

    • @DIYThingsThatFly
      @DIYThingsThatFly 7 лет назад +5

      That's actually really interesting! Keep me posted on what the doctor thinks :) What symptoms do you show? I have an old friend who's high functioning autistic, really cool dude but some things tick him off, and my grandmother actually works at a school centered around helping lower functioning individuals with autism lead the life they want to.
      If SciShow did a video on this, it would be awesome!!!

    • @Linkous12
      @Linkous12 7 лет назад +4

      Thanks for the response, DIY.
      My symptoms are pretty excessive: difficulty relating to others (a feeling of being 'outside' looking 'in'), lack of strong interpersonal relationships (no real friends, been single my entire life), isolation (lives alone), difficulty in telling if someone is joking, difficulty with "small-talk", I tend to give the impression that I'm arrogant (which I don't believe I am), extremely observant, bothered by sounds that others aren't bothered by, strict routines (which I hate to break), social anxiety (and avoidance of social situations), depression, overly polite, pedantic, and quick speech, extremely candid and honest (to a fault, I think) with people I'm comfortable around, difficulty with eye contact... the list goes on and on.
      What's interesting is that my field of study in college was Psychology, but it never clicked that HFA was something that I may have. Also, I'm old enough that I was a kid before they began screening for autism. So I suppose it's a possibility that it's just gone somewhat under the radar.

    • @Linkous12
      @Linkous12 7 лет назад +2

      madattaktube I can relate. In my college days my social anxiety was so bad I sometimes look back and wonder how I even got my degree. You should talk to someone about it, a school counselor, perhaps.

    • @DIYThingsThatFly
      @DIYThingsThatFly 7 лет назад +3

      Oh wow, sounds like a lot!! You do make a very good point, they wouldn't be screening for it at the time you were a kid. That's interesting how during your time as a psych major HFA didn't come up as a possibility.
      I hope your doctors appointment goes well! I can't relate, but if there are things you have difficulty with that you want to be changed, I hope your doctor is able to help!
      Good luck :-)

    I found the video interesting, but from personal experience I can see how there are different learning styles.
    I'm in high school and was tested on a wide range of things for an IEP and the results were that I had a disconnect for my visuals, but I was especially strong with my audio. I know that I am an audial learner; I pick up way more info from people talking about things and classroom discussion, rather than the basic "Read chapter X and answer these questions".
    In terms of actual data, you can see it on my transcripts. Last year I had 2 As, 2 Bs, and 2 Cs, but after switching to a school with classrooms geared towards how I learn, I have straight As.

  • @Sheuto
    @Sheuto 7 лет назад +1

    Personally I find the mix of different styles the best, but as I have a kind of synesthesia that makes me see concepts as places in 3D space (seeing time as a sort of a line, while cyclic events like days of the week or months as an elypse), drawing visual maps and assigning things I learn places in relation to each other seems to work pretty well. For my last exam I written keywords on sticky pieces of paper and started putting them on my rooms walls, then I would put other keyword or concept close to the ones it was related to. I covered half of my room in these and I remembered most of the facts. I only did shitty in historical dates, because numbers just don't stick to my mind like ever.

    I have ADHD and I suck at learning auditorially, cause I'm in a permanent state of slightly zoning out and back in again. If you zone out when someone is talking to you, or even just as you are trying to commit something to long term memory from working memory, it's gone forever. I couldn't count the number of times someone has told me a date or time or some small thing to remember, I say "yep" and then two seconds later it is lost to the void.

      That is the secondary phase of learning.
      We're talking about the first, prior to your build-up of experiences. Learning is just a by-product of your experiences.
      i.e. If someone asked you to cut their hair, would you want to listen to a barber cut another person's hair, have them explain it to you, or have them show it to you?

    This makes pretty obvious sense. Most, if not all people cannot easily identify the importance of an abstract concept without first drawing a connection between a certain material and the real world. This is what gives the information meaning and more importantly, a purpose for your brain to keep the newly learned information ingrained in your memory.

  • @sk8rdman
    @sk8rdman 7 лет назад +1

    It sounds to me like auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning just have to do with how closely the learner interacts with the subject.
    Auditory learning is 3rd person. You just hear/read about how it's done.
    Visual learning is 2nd person. You see it being done.
    Kinesthetic learning is 1st person. You do it yourself.
    It seems obvious to me that kinesthetic learning should be the easiest kind of learning, because it requires the least amount of imagination. Likewise, auditory learning is the hardest for the opposite reason.
    This helps demonstrate the importance of imagination for learning. The better a student's imagination, the easier it is for them to visualize a problem and find its solution without a first or second hand example.

      stefan brown tbh, all 'learning styles' are kind of the same, it is easier to learn a practical skill by actually performing the skill but 'kinesthetic learning' isn't effective for other types of skills (comprehension, learning new mathematical skills etc). The fact of the matter is, for the most part (barring any developmental abnormality) we all have the same brain and the same learning techniques work for all of us. This 'learning style' theory was pulled from thin air and has no real academic support and is often used as a justification by poor readers to excuse themselves from building their literacy skills. So, yes, you are a kinesthetic learner, sometimes.

    My son and myself both have psychological testing that shows superior iq scores on visual perceprual tests and lower scores on auditory processing tests. My son’s auditory performance was 40 points lower than his visual performance (central auditory processing disorder) while mine were just 21 or 22 points lower. For some of us, there is a clear disability with auditory processing. If people like us, rather than just self identified visual learners are tested, I cannot see how there wouldn’t be significant validity to visual specific learning strategies.

    I tutor handwriting (and sometimes other things), and … well … things got “interesting” on the day that a new student asked (actually, ORDERED) that I must never have her look at anything, trace anything, or copy anything because (she said) she was an auditory learner instead, so (she declared’) I “needed” to teach her entirely by talking! Unsurprisingly, she did not book a second lesson (you can imagine how the first lesson went, or, rather, didn’t go). However, since that day, I have had a lot of fun talking about this incident with believers in “learning styles,” and asking what they would suggest for the next auditory learner who calls and asks me for handwriting lessons.

      When citing sources, you cite where _you_ got it from, not where it might have originated. That way, if the source has been altered in any way, the responsibility falls on your source. If you cite that you got it from the original place, but then someone finds its been altered in some way, you're the one who gets into trouble for it.
      This is a more common problem when people misquote versus using pictures, but same principle applies. Always cite where _you_ found it, not where it originated from.

    Great presentation. Here's a funny story. My girlfriend asked me once, "Tell me what you see when I tell you this word." She told me the word "car" then asked, "What do you see?" I told her I saw a car. Instantly she said, "You're 'concrete."" I was confused. I was thinking that she just dissed me. She then went on to explain that there are two types of thinking: Subjective and Concrete. Subjective being for people who would see the word "car" and those who actually see a car. She checked by asking me what the car looked like and I described it to her.
    I had this to say my sweet, loving, and most of all, intelligent girlfriend-- the one who taught me that it's not what you say but how you say it: "Yeah? Is that why I keep having to tell you what to write about?"
    It seemed that maybe she had something there: I saw pictures. She saw words, and was also a straight A student at a private university who never could figure out any good stories to write for her classes. I was always a B-C student but always had a story to tell, and she even got some published.
    Does that ring a bell with your statistics---> imagination? I mean, some of the most brilliant friends that I've had couldn't tie their own ties if the grants depended on it.

    @Nanenna 7 лет назад

    In high school I took a survey, at the very top was kinestic learning (to learn by doing), with visual as a close second, then auditory waaaaaay at the bottom. So what I'm a bit curious about his how much note taking or other kinestic style learning techniques, such as repeating everything you hear to yourself, would factor in. Some of those are just things you can't test.

    I thought it was common knowledge that the best way is to include ALL of your senses in learning.
    I am learning a new language as an adult and things we're doing in school include to go out and touch the things that we're supposed to learn. Go to a market, learn some of the culture and bring back a photograph to do an assignment with. Sing and walk around while talking and so on. Well, we didn't have any smell- or kissing-assignments, but that's okay. ;-)

    When you want to learn something about people, like how we best learn things for example, it may be a good idea to consider our prehistoric background. How did we do it for hundreds of thousands of years? In the case of learning we probably used all of our senses repeatedly to recognize patterns and likely followed the examples of those closest to us.

  • @callmemesh

    No matter how we learn something, in the end we visualise it in our minds. People who prefer verbally learning just happen to be good at intaking more information (probably due to knowing more vocabularies) and visualising that information.

      ***** kinesthetic - tactile learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the students carrying out physical activities, rather than listening to a lecture or watching demonstrations.

      and I never really learnt anything in school I always had teachers and girlfriends do all my work for me cause I don't learn things any other way than using my hands thus why I passed all of high school with a %51 average grades 9-10-11-12

    I think history class would have been much less miserable if ANY of my teachers used a visual timeline and talked about events in the context of that visual aid. I have seen Sunday Schools also use visual timelines to make Bible history exceedingly easier to learn.
    I have ALWAYS done better with visualizations of abstract information. I have learned over the years to naturally turn any new spoken information into a mental slideshow, and business meetings become much easier to follow. I also tend to draw rudimentary pictures of ideas, like a flowchart or spider graph, while discussing non-physical topics with people. (Also love using my hands to give concepts a physical space to exist in while explaining things to people.)
    I also love love love analogies. Like, to the annoyance, I'm sure, of the people around me. Everything ridiculous or out of place or frustrating to me I will try to come up with some simile to describe it as accurately as possible... I do this most of the time while driving alone.

Give me a good textbook(preferably with bland charts reminiscent of an excel sheet), and let me take notes.

    I am a hands on learner (kinetic learning?). I learn by doing, even if it"s copying text verbatim. If I write it down, I remember it 10x's better than saying it or seeing it. Unfortunately, I tuned noises out pretty easily, so hearing to learn something is the worst way for me to retain information. I actually learned to read mostly from watching subtitled Japanese anime when I was younger (and comic books). Going on a tangent, anyhoo, thanks for another great video! I'm sure this is a sneak peek into SciShow Psych ;)

I cant memorize the song unless I associate visual image with it, I can play piano quite well first from sheets then from memory, never other way around, even simple child songs... Sooo I would say that inherent learning styles exist :D because I really tried, it would make my life much easier, but its impossible for me.

    I am most certainly a visual learner. I did pretty in school given everything was book based....well except a few classes like lab, chem, art etc. But once I started working as a mechanic I never had to pick up a book and could basically build a truck from scrap parts 6 months later. That is also why I use YT to learn new skills now rather than a wikihow or something.

    sometimes with pictures. but definitely not reading.
    if I had to choose. definitely audio. unless it's something you NEED a picture to be able to understand it. like a diagram or just things like. this object is this.
    but I'm one of those people with no literal imagination. so "audio" are ALL my thoughts.

      ***** I'm actually exactly the same. I'm technically gifted and I guess annoyingly so to my friends, idk whatever, but I'm a paaaaainfully slow reader. ..which surprises them completely. I constantly have to re-read and zone out l and everyone else always finishes wayyy ahead of me (plus, I DO actually want to fully understand what I'm reading before just moving on, so just skimming like others do, I can't do it.)
      I do have ADHD, so my zoning out with bad writing, but hyperfocusing to the point of completely shutting out the rest of the world with something love - could be just because of that. But I'm with you. Perhaps you could even consider is ADHD is even a possibility for you if it's more than an annoyance. :)
