Auditory Verbal Learners
Auditory Verbal learners
often like to listen and talk in order to processing
information and think. Some auditory-verbal students
have enormous auditory working memory spans that allow
them to record information like a tape recorder. Their
ability to replay what they've heard may help them with
tasks like taking notes or replaying conversations, but
a strong tape loop memory may also be seen with certain
types of auditory or visual processing problems.
Children or adults with
auditory discrimination or comprehension problems will
often train up their auditory verbal memory because they
are always repeating what they've heard either to
understand what was being said to them, or to remember
the information to apply it to some other purpose.
Children with visual processing or memory problems, on
the other hand, may always appear to be talking because
they are translating visual information into words so
they can store their experiences in their strong
auditory memories.
Auditory Verbal learners often thrive with one-on-one
verbal challenges (e.g. Socratic teaching), debate,
conventional lectures, and books on tape. Deductive
reasoning may also be a preferred intellectual tool for
Auditory Verbal learners, and they may enjoy verbal
sparring, formal rhetoric, and word play.
