Study Skills and the Physical Therapy Profession Practice Exam

When someone processes new material best through images and visual representations, they are described as a visual learner. Visual learners benefit from diagrams, charts, graphs, and written notes because these visuals help them organize and recall information. In contrast, kinesthetic learners learn best through hands-on activity, auditory learners through listening, and the idea of left-brain dominance is an outdated, oversimplified way some people try to categorize cognitive style. So the term for a person who learns best by seeing it is visual learner.
