The Perceptual Learning Style is a system that focuses on learning through your senses: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. I am a visual learner, I learn better if I can see what I am learning about. I print out power points, organize my notes from class. I also like looking and studying the pictures and diagrams in some textbooks, sometimes during tests I can remember them to help me answer questions. Multiple intelligence also explains different learning styles. Bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, and musical/rhythmic are my top three learning styles. My bodily/kinesthetic intelligence basically is that I actively get involved with my learning. I just started taking my flashcards to the gym so I can go over them while on the treadmill. My interpersonal intelligence is being able to be a great leader, do well in cooperative learning, and like to be in study groups. My musical/rhythmic intelligence is essentially listening to background music while I study. I also made up a song to remember the muscles of the human body. All these intelligences are helping me become a successful
