I took this VARK test in high school, and as a student who didn’t perform well, I was SOO excited to find out my learning style. I scored the exact same in all categories... seems like that wasn't the reason for my struggle. I realized that once I started taking online classes in college, I learned WAY better when I wasn't around my peers. I would make funny faces, talk out loud, gasp!, yell "what!?!," stick my tounge out, lay on the floor, walk around the room, etc. Not that I needed to have a classroom that allowed me to learn this way... but I needed to have no one else watch me learning this way. I love having a real instuctor, but not other students watching me. Now, I just simulate this by sitting at the front of the class, right in front of the teacher. No one sits in the front. Its always open. ❤

This was a reassuring video for me. I always thought that I didn't really have a learning style because it depends on the situation and material. When someone asks me that question, I usually reply with "visual" because in my memory, I tend to absorb textbook information better by reading than listening to it (and I cannot do audiobooks/podcasts). But I also remember countless times where I would read the same paragraph over and over again because I couldn't understand what was happening, and I end up having to look up a diagram, try to map it out myself, or even hear it out loud before it clicks. Thus, I never thought I was truly a visual learner, rather it was just the one that I tend to lean more into, but I definitely require a bit of everything for the best results. It's good to know there's nothing wrong with me haha. And side note, I never really understood what kinesthetic learning means when it's not like building/drawing/something active/etc. Like is doing practice problems in math or history considered "hands-on" ?

@boddaboom77

3 ай бұрын

Same for me. It all depended on what was being taught. For example: spelling, or, geography, was just visually seeing and memorizing. But something like anatomy was part visual and part "hands on" in dissecting and then seeing. I worked in manufacturing for a while and when I first started, I had to be there and watch someone set up a machine. But, there was so much information to remember that, after watching a setup, I had an overall understanding of what needed to be done but I needed an "instructor" there with me as I was doing the hands on part to remember the little details that there was no way to remember it all until I had the repetition. This frustrated me because I can remember being in school and just intently listening to a, say...history discussion and remember the important points. So I think the "best" or "smartest" students (or learners) are comfortable with every method of "learning". If you are too rigid and only learn "visually" for example, how can anyone ever explain anything to you?

No, doing practice problems would not be a kinaesthetic learning method. That would fall under reading and writing or visual learner. Kinaesthetic learners find it easiest and funnest to incorporate information (especially new information) using their entire body. If the child were to go over math drills or flash cards at home - they would enjoy to do so while bouncing on a small trampoline, or with the reward of bouncing or showing a trick every 3 correct problems. To introduce math topics, you would use manipulatives like base ten counting blocks, buttons, raisins, etc. something they can group up and move around to better take in the information. This will also please the visual learner. You can prepare numbers taped to the floor and have the kids jump from number to number when learning skip counting. You can have them go look around the room for items that would weigh less than a pound, have them bring them to you and then check their guess with a kitchen scale. You could do body movements like dancing or excersize while doing math facts or something more rote. Or you can let them doodle or draw in class, or kick their legs back and forth in their chair, or move about the room during the “boring/hard” part. Isn’t it funny that we are all discussing the learning styles the video is trying to suggest do no exist? Learning styles are valuable, personal information to have for learning how you find it easiest to process new information. The commenter we have replied to needs to be able to pace or react physically in order to allow the information to go deeper (to assimilate/incorporate) on a first attempt - that is so valuable!!!! I am glad you found that out about yourself, @carmenmintrose. When I took the VARK learning test, I was high in each area. It was explained to me that instead of having a brain with only a door and a window open, I had a brain with a door and all the windows open. I personally needed to receive information through more than one of those openings to be able to make sense of it. In other words, in more than one method in order to grasp it quicker. I was often a slower learner, especially when I found the material difficult, BUT, when I understood it, I understood it from several angles. I am also not nearly as slow to learn now that I am older because I can access all the old pathways made over time and hold a ton of information that I can access and use to make more recent, “new” connections faster. This is the reason why those who often require more than one discipline to study well, can make great teachers. They can look at their student, see the information isn’t getting through and try an entirely different approach (or take a brain/activity break) on a dime a because they have had to do that for themselves all along!

I remember this myth being taught to me for my education degree, and while I accepted it as fact, I also thought it wasn't particularly useful as you can't really cater to one specific learning style to the exclusion of others, when you have a whole classroom with different learning styles, so for me the result was the same as the conclusion of each video, I simply always tried to account for multiple ways to cover each topic. It worked not because I was hitting each person's style as I thought, but because of the redundancy and reinforcement in teaching the same thing in different ways.

What a BAMF

I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I have always believe there are different learning styles and therefore present my training in a way that touches on all three. I demonstrate, explain, and give worksheets to every client. I have always done it this way to ensure the information is absorbed by my clients since I am not able to determine each and every clients learning style. Dog training really should be called people training. That said, I never realized this was a thing and it's called multimedia. I guess now I feel a bit silly for not realizing that. I have always felt like I understand new things best by a bit of everything. I like to hear it explained, see it done, take notes, read the instructions (or read about a topic), and try it for myself. I incorporate a lot of "experience" stories to clients to help them understand why something might be happening or what could happen if they do something a certain way. I loved this presentation on learning. This has definitely broadened my thoughts on the subject.

I agree I am a mixed learner. I like someone explaining & showing me, then letting me try it on my own. Now I do learn when this doesn't happen, ie. I'm only given oral instructions, but I find it comes easier/quicker for me if I can have it shown & explained, then try it myself. Plus the lesson sticks longer. For college & high school, I simply memorized by rote, usually visualizing the text book in my head, but as soon as the test was done, the information was gone, so I wouldn't call that a style of learning, since no true learning was being done.

To my mind, it's your attitude towards what you are learning that makes a difference, if you are interested and motivated to learn you will do your best to understand and find the right ways to remember essential information, I agree that a different material requires a different learning style. Sometimes I remember by visualizing pictures, and sometimes by listening, and more often by watching videos for example.

The interesting thing here is that, when i was a younger, i thought of myself as a visual/ kinesthetic learner in the sense that i needed to either see something physically happen or do it myself to internalize it. While there is certainly some truth to that for me, as I've gotten into college, i'm noticing exactly this - the best approach is a combination. Some things really sink in when you hear them, some when you see them, and some when you feel them, etc. The most beneficial thing is to take the same concept and approach it from so many perspectives that at least one sticks and to just continuously do that.

The best way to learn something is being actually interested in the topic.

That is so motivating to watch. Back when I was in primary school, teacher gave us tests (kind of primitive one) to guess our preferred way of learning. I answered honestly and it came out that I do not have a single preferred way instead multiple of them. I was very proud of that result and surprisingly teacher was, too. So it's relieving to find out that that's exactly the way, multiple ways

This makes so much sense, as I could never pick one specific learning style which worked best for me. For me, I always found I learn best when I have all three modalities of learning together, and separating them into individual categories just felt dumb, but I always played along with the surveys and picked one. I'm so glad I found this and now know I'm wasn't completely crazy.

The result was teaching the same material in a few different ways so that you'd reach everyone.

Don't just teach visual learners visually and kinesthetic learners with experiments; teach everyone with everything.

I've been saying that for years with a lot of pushback from older teachers.

The discussion and exercises in the video often equate learning with memorisation. When people say they are visual learners, I think they are trying to express that they can often understand complex concepts faster/better by seeing a visual representation, rather than pages of text. If instead of a list of items to remember you had given people a written explanation of how a volcano or a TV works, vs a diagram or animation explaining the same and compare how quickly and comprehensively people understood, you may see a different results, or at least results more aligned with what people are trying to express.

Memorizing a list is not the same type of learning as breaking down complex concepts and understanding how they make sense.

If I saw an orange, heard the word orange, touched an orange, smelled an orange, tasted an orange, ate an orange, draw an orange, wrote sn orange. I would definitely remember it for long. Plus, the techniques and strategy also helps. Like active recalling, break times, storytelling, flash cards and so on. If I use all of my senses and all of the learning styles and strategy and techniques plus the motivation, discipline and curiousity. I would definitely learn it not only at memory but also at heart. I mentioned here that motivation, discipline and curiousity plays a big factor in these because without it how would you start? Without motivation you would procastinate at learning something or doing it. Without discipline, you wouldn't be able to consistenly learn it and putting effort on it. And wothout curiousity you wouldn't be able to take the lessons at heart. So by combining all of these. I would be super saiyan🫨🫨🫨

Yeah, like he said "Learning Styles" is probably more a personal preference. Like i am personally fascinated by animations of mechanical interactions, but they alone probably wont help me learn how a combustion engine works without a written or spoken explanation of whats happening. Likewise i also prefer to look up text-based tutorials on things i immediately want to learn in, say, photoshop, than watching a youtube tutorial. Despite myself believing that im more of a "visual learner".

this explains to me why i've never really had one set learning style and instead prefer to mix them together if or when i can. like listening to a book being read while reading it at the same time.

I think for me I loved when we were doing different types of learning styles, the way of learning is important but I feel like eventually it comes down to implicating students and encourage flexibility. Give them time and enough supports but not too much as not to overwhelm them. I lack structure and I have ADHD so it’s important that things are clear. For example I always noticed that images, mind maps didn’t help me on their own because I don’t understand what exactly we have to learn from them. I think where we get it wrong is that we are not really good at one specific learning style but we can have difficulties with some because of specific disabilities that are often not addressed like bad hearing, bad eyesight, dalton’s vision, dyslexia, etc. I see a flaw in the test you ran, it only uses short term memory and doesn’t apply to things that don’t need to be copied and paste but understood and manipulated

For instance, if a person feels uncomfortable at the lecture, and understands everything much better by reading the study book later, he might think it is because he is a visual learner. So they don't even know the definition and mix up forced socializing (being around other people while learning something), pressure from other students or teacher and the learning style. It might be so because usually different learning styles have different levels of socializing, for instance if you call yourself a hands on learner, you might like having one on one time with teacher, them showing you what to do and then can finish it on your own. At the same time, verbal learning often includes being in front of many people when answering the teacher, the pace is dictated by the teacher and everybody is watching you. In fact, this video made me feel uncomfortable, because I can't relax when the other person is there, I'm thinking more about doing something wrong and I can't turn those pages on my own to develop a strategy or look at something for longer. Also, I find it hard to switch between socializing and learning. I don't think either of those methods were what people think of when they talk about visual learning - seeing something on their own, not being distracted and not being disturbed by the other person talking when they switch their mind into seeing in pictures instead of words.

I'm in the learning and development department at a manufacturing facility. We used this test in orientation to help for when new hires go to the floor to train. I've been working on shifting us away from the learning style model for a few months now. This video is super helpful!!!

I'm a teacher who just discovered your channel. When you asked those people what Learning Style they were I imagined what I'd say in that position and I would have said "all of them - I'm a multi-modal learner". Then you went on and talked about multimodality so I take some solace in the fact that I am doing my best for my students in following this approach.

Well done. Having sat through professional development sessions in using the bogus Learning Style approach, your video is a breath of fresh air.

I'm just about halfway through the video. If I want to learn about something I want to use multiple senses and perspectives. And if it is a person teaching me something I generally try to understand whatever way they are expressing the concept, I identify what they are talking about and then, if it is of interest I construct a mental model which honestly has more than just words, pictures, and sounds etc. I match it with any schema I have or identify it as a new concept or one where I have not yet been able to identify if it fits with any current schema and then I work out how to apply it to my current schema whilst then updating my schema and reality model if there are genuinely new concepts. So I think real learning happens by all things mentioned as well as some not even yet necessarily fully understood. Another great video :D

and the ones that learn the best across all subjects tend to be one's that employ learning techniques that are not actively taught by the teacher. This is why vocab is such a poor subject for many kids. not many people will just learn a list of words and definitions even when used in stories. meanwhile if you have multiple activities for each concept, when tested on the material you will see better results. Especially when activities engage more.

Remember it's just a skill - it will improve with practice. No matter how difficult it seems at the start, you will improve. I thought I'm a dum-dum at maths - turned out I was discouraged because it was..my first bad grade. We often get locked in patterns. Try to identify Yours. And never, ever give up. Keep going, even by little. You'll get there. Learning how to learn is extremely important too, but persistence is paramount in all endeavours.

I think that instead of learning styles, each of the things that people call learning style, is just a different kind of way information is presented, and it is easiest to learn when you combine all of them (like watching a video and seeing pictures (visual) but also getting some commentary about it (audio) and reading about the same thing later and also seeing the same thing in some hands on experience would give you the most learning output)

In short, you only learn when you are interested in learning.

I think the best learning happens when there's a synthesis of learning styles. I really like taking notes town as the teacher writes and narrates them because i can write down the contents, listen to the content, and hear the content all at once. I think the structure of this type of note taking also helps because i like linear structure with points amd sub points rather than web graphic organizers.

I've notice that practice helps me. Each time i need to learn something I'm starting from some project which can be solved by implementing things I need to learn. In this case I'm super motivated, easy memories and I need to understand to fulfil the goal.

I recall a teacher telling me he practised the martial art of "Tell-show-do", he further explained that his students learned best when first he told them about the subject matter, then he showed them a demonstration of the material, and finally got them to practise it themselves. This essentially covered all the perceived learning styles and helped everyone in his classes learn fairly uniformly.

The more I think about these learning styles the more I realise that it is a combination of all three that helps me and it depends largely on the subject. Reading an entire book about a dry subject would be boring to me without visuals - so I would probably prefer watching a documentary or looking at pictures. But I would rather read a manual than watch a 30 minute KZread video on how to do something because I can skip the things I already know in a manual or speed read - especially if its a hands on task like cooking and I already know the basics and how certain ingredients behave under certain conditions so I don't need anyone to show me from scratch. Equally, some subjects require me to throw in auditory aids - I am not that good at Maths and just seeing a formula doesn't help me if I can't discuss it with another person and have them talk me through the logic. And sometimes I actually need to do something myself rather than learn the theory of a subject as only the theory will likely go over my head unless I can touch it and feel it and walk myself through the process. Unfortunately the education system often has one or more elements missing (eg University and school is largely textbook based and you are not really exposed to a real working environment, online courses you don't have anyone to talk the subject through with, learning by doing is ok if you work in a lower skilled job but if a company only employs people and trains them on the job sometimes theoretical training is missing which could fill in the gaps). (P.S.: I have ADHD and you have to keep me entertained if you want me to learn anything...lol). So I believe some learning styles are better if you already have basic knowledge and some are better if you start completely from scratch but overall it's a combination of all three.

@markmrohs237

2 жыл бұрын

The thing he is getting at is this: the 'best' learning approach is dictated by the MATERIAL, not by some presumed personal style. You are certainly correct, for electronic circuits, that subject begs for diagrams - but for example, in teaching about rhetoric or speech-craft, you would not want to just read the words from a speech from MLK, the best learning approach would be to listen to his voice. (thinking further on this MLK idea, you might think a visual movie of him giving a speech might add still more.... but probably not, that could actually take away from your learning goal which might be to understand the power of spoken language - so the best learning approach might be to close your eyes and just listen). Let the nature of the materials dictate the best style. And for sure, several styles/methods together will probably be even better. But for example do NOT put lots of text on a PPT slide when you are going to say the same words. That overloads the working memory, with its two channels of input, auditory and visual - instead utilize one channel, auditory, with all your narration words, and utilize the visual channel with either just a few keywords (almost more as illustrations than as text) or better have a visual representation (Illustration, animation, picture) of what the narration is all about. That way you respect the working memory and get maximal complimentary learning approach benefits.

I saw this a long time ago, and I loved it so much that I've come back to watch it again. One little thing that interests me is whether it is harder to block out visual stimuli. That seems to be one of the earliest forms of stimuli that the human brain allows us to categorise. We have sound statistics at a young age, but not meaningful words. We can't walk or move in the same way until we're much older. Smells and tastes need to be identified and dealt with even more slowly. I say this because in my experience as a language teacher, I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that most people's pronounication got worse when they were initially presented with the words in writing (in English). It's hard to tell people that they can't have that, so often it's better to write the words out according to other words they already know or - if possible - according to the phonetics of their own language.

@maciejstachowski183

Don't you find that phonetic spelling and mapping pronunciation from one language to the other hampers people trying to sound close to native speakers? I know a lot of people with advanced vocabulary and a very distinct nonstandard pronunciation because they read English as though it was Polish - so both with little care for intonation and accent, and using incorrect phonemes where Polish has no 1-to-1 equivalent (Polish doesn't have ə, ð or θ and replacing them with ɛ, d or f leads to a somewhat quirky accent). Personally I found getting presented with words in both writing and speech at the same time most useful - primarily watching subtitled movies (which also give a breadth of emotional contexts and can teach more nuanced speech rather than flat BBC presenter style found in most listening exercises).

I think it has to do with storing information in memory. When a baby learns their first language, they create their own "IPA" in their memory, which only has the sounds they've encountered so far. When learning a second language, your brain has to get enough exposure to a new sound to create an additional IPA symbol for it. E.g., as a non-native English speaker who learned English primarily by reading, I didn't even realize that "a" in "Amy" and "Albert" were different sounds until someone pointed it out. And then what about "law" or "August"? In my first-language mental IPA, there is only one "a" bucket, and all four of the words sound similar enough to me to be put in that bucket. It takes a lot of exposure targeting the comparison of these sounds specifically for me to start noticing the difference. E.g., I've lived in an English-speaking country for over ten years, but I'm still not sure if "law" and "August" have the same sound, even though I've heard these words many times, of course.

Next step, he must assume that there are more possibilities...the trick comes, with PROVING any of those alternate view-points.

I've noticed that for me it depends on what I'm learning. For instance with science or math based subjects I seem to retain and analyze more information by visualizing and history or origin based subjects, I seem to retain and analyze information by reading. Here's the thing, most of my learning I've done alone, meaning self-taught. The advantage of being self-taught is I learn at a pace that suits me and I can readily change up the way I'm digesting information. The disadvantage is I have a tendency to not invest too much time and effort in subjects I care little or not at all. Informative video.

Hi, great video, I would still not say that the best way is to combine all styles in one lesson or subject (since the style doesn't exist), it all depends on the nature of the topic and how a human (not a specific person) absorbs/processes knowledge. We are learner by nature, we adapt to things we are used to or familiar with, we gain more experience and we be better at learning as we try uncharted territories/challenges (not things that we are used to). Thanks for the great video.

Some of the Brain Game series really displayed thought patterns and cognizant bias a very interesting way. Switching gears while learning also helps because of what you have already learned and the ability to integrate the new information. Sometimes writing lines does help.

I’ve been teaching English to ESL students for years and I’ve seen this happen. I found that being able to talk and share stories that incorporate new information, they learn and remember much more easily than being given a list of vocabulary or grammar rules to learn. It makes learning much faster and more fun if the information has context.

I agree with you that interest is very important, but I disagree that will lead to learning by itself. You can be deeply interested in a subject, but if no one presents that information to you, or at least in a intelligible way, then you will never understand no matter how much you want to know. This is excluding experimenting things and discovering it yourself. Having an interest is important nonetheless. If your teacher is presenting the material poorly, your innate interest will lead to you seeking out that information elsewhere. But that other source of information still need to present it in a understandable way. If you aren't interested, that won't happen. Interest just means you are more willing to find alternative forms of presentation.

In school I had the topic "learn learning" which covered those types. Later on in my training as a careworker I had this topic again. This time my teacher told me that we all have a prefered learning style (one of the types), but we learn best if we use all types. He called it canels. If we trigger all our canels (visual, audotory, read/write and kinesthetic) we learn the best. Its the combinations that helps to manifest the input given to you in your brain. And a little extra: We had a fifth type - communication. Learning best in groups and talking with others about it.

This is a very useful video that sums up the misconception very nicely. I'll definitely keep this handy.

Kudos to the person who learns geography better in an auditory fashion than with a map.

Well, for memorizing country names auditory certainly works better. For memorizing country _locations_ you'd have to look at a map.

You know geography is not just pinpointing a country or a capital on a map right ? Kudos to you if you can understand the concept of globalization or gentrification with just a map rather than an auditory explanation.

@Sanningen Why do you complain to me about it? Apart from that, his experiment did use different pictures. Nonetheless, his experiement is, as he said himself, unscientific. The evidence that method based learning is not how people learn has been shown over and over in countless studies, he just tried to give an example. This is also nothing new, I read this exact thing years ago. It's not like Veritasium invented this.

As a (retired) research engineer , 87 yr old. iearned whatever knowledge have by studying text books. Not any textbook but a text that has examples with calculation of results. I admit to sometimes reading and rereading the material many times .

I do know I am a visual learner. If you show me how to do something or if a foreign language is spoken to me with/in context I get it so much faster, than when I read about it or is verbally explained to me. A few times I was able to just watch someone do something, without explanation and I was still able to get it. It makes logical sense because writing wasn't what we evolved from. We observe before we speak or write.

There is one element to this that was not addressed: as a teacher, it does not really matter if the RCT said VARK doesn't work, once your student already believes that it does. The placebo effect is strong and it affects other important aspects of learning like comfort and motivation. So it often pays off to go along with peoples preferences to an extent. It is good to know that it doesn't hold any water though, so you can focus on more important things about the classroom rather than trying to inventory everyone's own thing.

I kinda get what you're saying, but I don't think lying or pretending that something exists and matters is a healthy way to maintain interest from your students. Especially when it could be harmful to make your students think they're bad at learning in a certain way when they are not.

Mom, a life long educator, and I were discussing this today. I definitely preferred in classroom settings. And feel like children today have missed two years of education due to the pandemic. I feel I like there is no substitute for being in a class where you get taught by a teacher who allows questions, I guess what you could call an interactive learning style.

My science teacher always said that there is no learning style. As long as you make the topic engaging and interesting the students learn. And the only way to do that is by involving all the 4 senses you require. Eyes for visual, ears for audio, mouth for communication and hands for hands on.

I'm commenting before i get into the video. I learn best when I am seeking to learn something specific (not info bombed). And being able to apply what I learned immediately so I can see if I need correction in my learning. The second way i learn is when it's SUPER interesting, it just sticks.

In teaching school I was taught to cater to these but to try and hit them all. I like the multiple modalities approach. Also it seems wise to cater the modality to the subject not the student, unless needed. ❣️
