Visual Learner (Major tips about this learning style)

I have a friend that learns faster from colors, graphs and objects. He loves to create a physical identification or representation of anything he is learning or wants to learn. It works for him, because he is a Visual learner.

A spatial learner might find it difficult to use mnemonics to learn but would prefer the differentiation of objects with their specific sets using different colors. However, an aural learner might not really need identication, their hearing alone sticks the information into memory.

What works for you may or may not work for another, as there are different styles and/or forms of learning. In this article, I will show you who a visual learner is, their characteristics, study techniques, and how to teach one.
