visual learning
Eyes absorb information
Visual learning is a style of acquiring knowledge in which information is best absorbed through images, diagrams, charts, and other visual representations rather than through listening or reading text.
Visual learners often benefit from color-coding, mind maps, and spatial arrangements of information: I'm a visual learner, so I need to see it drawn out.
