Kinesthetic learners prefer to learn by touch, movement, imitation, and practice; they best understand information by touching or feeling the material and by processing the information in their own way. For example, a kinesthetic learner who listens to a classroom lecture may take notes and later rewrite them after processing the material. It is important for students to recognize that no one style is "better" than another and that each style is used to some extent, depending on the learning situation.
