Kinesthetic learning. Kinesthetic learning (American English), kinaesthetic learning (British English), or tactile learning is learning that involves physical activity. As cited by Favre (2009), Dunn and Dunn define kinesthetic learners as students who prefer whole-body movement to process new and difficult information. [1]
Learning styles. Learning styles refer to a range of theories that aim to account for differences in individuals' learning. [1] Although there is ample evidence that individuals express personal preferences on how they prefer to receive information, [2]: 108 few studies have found validity in using learning styles in education. [3]: 267 Many ...
Multisensory learning. Multisensory learning is the assumption that individuals learn better if they are taught using more than one sense (modality). [1][2][3] The senses usually employed in multisensory learning are visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile – VAKT (i.e. seeing, hearing, doing, and touching).
Grace Maxwell Fernald (November 29, 1879 – January 16, 1950) was an educational psychologist and influential figure in early twentieth century literacy education. Fernald established "the first clinic for remedial instruction in 1921 at the University of California, Los Angeles". [1] Tracing tactile learning tendencies back to Quintilian ...

Since 1983, the theory has been popular among educators around the world. In the influential book Frames of Mind: The ...

[3][4] The visual mode conveys meaning via ...
Visual thinking, also called visual or spatial learning or picture thinking, is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing. [1] Visual thinking has been described as seeing words as a series of pictures. [2][3] It is common in approximately 60–65% of the general population. [1] ". Real picture thinkers", those who use visual ...
Sensory modalities may include visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and taste. Perceptual learning forms important foundations of complex cognitive processes (i.e., language) and interacts with other kinds of learning to produce perceptual expertise. [1] [2] Underlying perceptual learning are changes in the neural circuitry. The ability for ...
