VAK to Assess Your Learning Style



VAK stands for Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic sensory modalities that are used for learning information.

Fleming and Mills suggest following learning style categories as:

Visual (V): This preference includes depiction of information in charts, graphs, flow charts, and all the symbolic arrows, circles, hierarchies and other devices that instructors use to represent what could have been presented in words. "Seeing and Reading".

Auditory (A): This perceptual mode prefers information that is “heard.” Students with this modality report that they learn best from lectures, tutorials, tapes, and talking to other students."Listening and speaking".

Kinesthetic (K): This preference is for the use of experience and practice (simulated or real). One connects to “reality” through experience, example, practice or simulation."Touching and doing".
