• Question: Why do some people, like me, find it easier to learn things visually, whereas others learn it differently like via hearing or being involved in activities?

      There are lots of different methods of learning, and everyone is slightly different. Scientists have ways of helping people figure out which method (or methods) of learning are better for them – whether it is visual (pictures, diagrams), auditory (sounds, words) or kinaesthetic (hands-on/activities). We don’t really know why people are different but it is probably to do with how their brains learn new things.
