I was wondering if you guys could help with something. I am a maths student at university, and all my life I considered myself to be a visual learner. Whenever I write notes in class, I use various colors to highlight between theorems, proofs and examples.
What I find interesting is that with this, I find it very hard to do two things. I often tune out of people's conversations, and do not always get the gist of what people are saying, or understand them. Also, I find reading passages of text hard. I often will read a newspaper article, and not remember what I read well. Also, I used to read many books when I was younger, but now I can't get through one.
Curiously too, whenever I watch the television, I always have subtitles- in my opinion hearing it and seeing it and reading it helps my understanding. Also in a psychology experiment, apparently i was 87% visual, 6% auditory, and 7% kinesthetic.
What do people make of this? Is this just a case of visual learning? Or something more?
