About 'Your Learning Preference'

Have you ever asked yourself how our senses affect thinking and learning?

We use our senses to think, communicate and process information when making decisions.

This neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) learning and communication model is designed to help you understand the best way you learn in everyday life and in educational settings.  There are four 'Learning Styles'.

Trainers, teachers and educators are realising that every individual has an optimum way of learning new information. They understand that some individuals need to be taught in ways that vary from standard teaching methods. If these individuals are taught in the standard way, they are less likely to comprehend what's being presented. Identifying an individual’s Learning Preference will maximize their educational experience by focusing on what benefits them the most.

What are the four Learning Styles?

Three of the Learning Styles correspond to the senses:

• VISUAL (what we see)
• AUDITORY (what we hear)
• KINAESTHETIC (what we feel and touch)
• AUDITORY DIGITAL (what is logical and ordered - language and actual words used, facts and figures) is devoid of the senses.

We use all four Learning Styles and often, over time, develop a preference for one Learning Style which we will tend to use more often. We will call this 'Your Learning Preference'.

“Free assessment of Your Learning Preference? What’s the catch?”

There is no catch. This is valuable information you can use in any area of your life and has been specifically incorporated into the Quittingpoint Programme.  

Why is Your Learning Preference incorporated in the Quittingpoint Programme?

The Quittingpoint Programme has been designed to accommodate every Learning Style because we are all unique in the way we learn new information.  When you are familiar with Your Learning Preference, you will get the most out of the Quittingpoint Programme.  The comprehensive Guide Book offers valuable suggestions and strategies that will work for you.  This is especially relevant if you are highly kinaesthetic. 

A General overview of the Learning Styles

 VISUAL (what you see)

You easily learn by visualising information and have a great imagination.  You often speak quickly.  You may be less distracted by noise.  Verbal instructions may be difficult to remember as you may become bored and your mind may wander. You are interested in how the programme looks.

 Visual learners can benefit from:

• Visualising goals
• Imagery rehearsal
• Reading rather than being read to
• Copying information
• Viewing or creating diagrams
• Taking notes and making lists
• Watching videos
• Colour coding words
• Using flashcards
• Circling, underlining or highlighting important written information

 AUDITORY (what you hear)

You easily learn by listening and can repeat things back. You like music and like to talk on the phone. Tone of voice and the words used can be important. You may easily be distracted by noise.  You are interested in how the programme sounds.

Auditory learners can benefit from:

• Listening to audio CDs
• Reading aloud
• Not taking notes when someone is talking
• Using word association to remember facts and lines
• Listening to someone on the phone
• Repeating facts with eyes closed
• Participating in group discussions
• Recording notes after writing them

 KINAESTHETIC (what you feel and touch)

You easily learn via experience – moving, touching and doing.  You often speak slowly and are very expressive with your hands. You respond to physical rewards and touching.  You are interested in how the programme feels.

Kinaesthetic learners can benefit from:

• Physically doing something
• Circling, underlining or highlighting important written information
• Role playing
• Visualising goals by using all your senses and really feeling it 
• Studying in short blocks
• Taking time to absorb new information
• Taking field trips, visiting museums, etc
• Studying with others
• Meeting someone in person and not talking to them over the phone
• Using memory games
• Using flash cards
• Use a finger as a pointer when reading

 AUDITORY DIGITAL (what is logical and ordered - language and actual words used, facts and figures)

You easily learn by steps, procedures, sequences.  You may spend a fair amount of time talking to yourself.  You will want to know the programme 'makes sense' or 'is logical'.  You benefit from facts and statistics.  If you are predominantly auditory digital, then read your second highest Learning Style.

Auditory Digital learners can benefit from:

• Steps, procedures and sequences
• Systemising and organising information
• Planning goals that are specific and measurable
• Fact sheets
• Taking notes
• Making lists of things to do
• Taking time to think things through
