During adulthood, visual learning is the predominant learning style. Visual learners prefer to sit in the front in a classroom setting, take copious notes, and are attracted to verbal discussions that contain a lot of imagery.
These learners prefer passive surroundings and are attracted to presentations and handouts that use color, graphics, and other visual stimuli. They tend to be distracted by too much auditory stimulation. Visual learners may close their eyes to "visualize" what they're learning. When working with visual learners, provide visual stimulation and make sure:
- Handouts are well-illustrated and colorful
- The educator is easily seen in the classroom setting
- Written materials are easy to read
