Essay / The Adult Mind and Its Inner Abilities - 782
The way a human learns is very exciting and can really go deep when explored. The brain controls everything, it has infinite capabilities and plays a huge role in how the average human learns. There are different learning styles and theories of intelligences that can explain, or even put into perspective, everything we do. Without the exploration of multiple intelligences, knowledge of how humans learn would be irrelevant. Learning something new can be very easy or very difficult depending on the type of person and their abilities. The only way we learn anything as human beings is through our brains, but there are other factors that can be used to help us along the way. Growing up, someone's impressions of being taken into account could have had a huge impact on how a person learns. As an individual grows, he or she learns about different learning styles, whether at school, at work or in society. According to Gardner (2011), “there are seven different learning styles: visual, auditory, verbal, physical, logical, social, and solitary.” Each plays an important role in how information is retained or how the individual learns. All of them can be used or some of them can be used, it is up to which person it will benefit the most. Some may need improvement to get the most out of what exactly is being learned. How well we learn depends on the individual's DNA. Some face learning challenges, while others may be geniuses. Could someone with a learning disability actually improve or get rid of it? There is a huge amount of information that could lead people to believe that this could happen and there are people who have had learning difficulties and... middle of paper...... ents somewhere in the realm of learning that can be done, whether changing one style or all styles, a human being's capacity for learning will never be full. There is a vast amount of information that dictates how we learn and how our intelligence plays an important role in the process. According to all the studies conducted over the years, we can definitely improve the way we learn and therefore dictate the outcome of our future. Works Cited Gardner, H. (2011).
