Different Learning Methods and Their Effects on Your Mind

Hi again, dear Steemians!

In today’s blog post, we will discuss the different learning methods and their effects on the mind of the audience as they try to grasp the subject matter.

Have you ever struggled to learn something new, or have you ever had to teach something to a group of people, but however hard you tried, they seemed far behind your points and couldn’t quite comprehend the matter according to your expectations?

Sometimes, even the simplest ideas to you can be hard for other people to understand. This is what we know as different brain wirings for different personality types.

If you want to learn subjects more easily, or excel at your studies, you need to understand a basic function of your brain; how it processes data and sends it to your memory banks.

There are many different methods with which you can learn something. Perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that people tend to react to certain stimuli differently.

For instance, if you are having a hard time learning something by reading it, you may need to have someone read it out loud for you, because your auditory response is much more effective.

There are many different categories and subgroups for learning styles in accordance to how our brains function. We will list some of them below.

Some people learn better when visuals are involved. If they see pictures, images, diagrams and other visually stimulating creations, they will learn the subject matter and memorize it much more easily.

As opposed to visualization, some people tend to get stimulated with aural capacities such as sounds or music. These groups of people will learn something better if they hear it.

But then, there are also people who get stimulated by linguistic aspects of a subject matter, learning stuff much more easily if words or different anagrams or synonyms of words are involved.

There are people who can learn things better if they could use their physical strength in a manner suitable to the subject matter. These people are attracted to kinesthetics and can be stimulated by physical feelings of touch.

Apart from these groups, there are also social (extroverted) people and solitary (introverted) people.

If you are socially stimulated, you learn stuff better when you are in a group. These people study together or try to find a basic understanding of something using a shared wisdom.

Solitary creatures on the other hand, can learn stuff only if they are alone. These are the people who do must of the self-studying in the world of knowledge, and they are the forerunners of using loneliness and quiet to the advantage of their brain power.

If you are having a difficult time learning something, it is not because you lack intellectual capacity. This is as erroneous as it is fallacious. Nobody lacks intellect to understand different subject matters.

Your problem is that you still haven’t figured out what stimulates you better.

If you are visual, then you need to bring your learning to a visual domain. If you are physical, then you need to use the space around you and get closer to your sense of touch.

If you are aural, then you need to find tapes and songs to understand a particular subject.

If you want to learn better, figure out your learning style.

It is only then when you will get the most out of your productivity regarding learning something new!
