Kinesthetic learners process knowledge by moving and participating in hands-on activities. Return demonstrations and role playing work well with these learners. Patients who are visual-spatial learners enjoy learning through pictures and visual charts to explain concepts. The verbal/linguistic learner demonstrates strength in the language arts and therefore prefers learning by listening or reading information. Patients who learn through logical-mathematical reasoning think in terms of cause and effect, and respond best when required to predict logical outcomes. Specific teaching strategies could include open-ended questioning or problem solving exercises, like a case study.
