Learning Styles. an individual's learning style refers to the preferential way in

which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information.

system performance subject to the assumption that the system structure is known.

Visual Learning. is a type of learning style in which students prefer to use

images, graphics, colors and maps to communicate ideas and thoughts. Visual

photographic memory and may use color, tone and brightness to recall information.

In class, visual learners will benefit from seeing diagrams drawn out, for example,

on a chalkboard and in slideshows.
