How we Learn:

As we know not everyone learns in the same way. There are many learning theories to prove that statement. The three main learning theories are Behaviorism (B.F. Skinner), Cognitivism (Jerome Bruner, and Lev Vygotsky), and Constructivism (John Dewey and Knowles). According to my learning styles inventory I am a visual learner for the most part. I can remember a lot more information when I see it then when I hear it. Paivio's dual coding theory makes a lot of sense to me, I am one of those people who are overwhelmed when I am given to many things to focus on with only one sensory system to do it with. One visual aid at a time is easier to learn from than multiple visual teaching aids and the same goes for verbal or hearing teaching aids. Too many things to look at distract learners from what is key to understanding the information being given.
