The Learning Styles of an Agile Mind • 19

CONCLUSION

Using all of your learning-style possibilities exercises the
various functional regions of your brain. You want to keep
your seeing, listening, touching, smelling, and tasting skills
fine-tuned and firing on all cylinders, like a well-tuned en-
gine. In later chapters, you will have an opportunity to prac-
tice each of the three learning styles and increase your ease
of use.
In this chapter, we emphasized your auditory, visual,
and kinesthetic learning preferences. Remember the PET
scans in Figure 1-2 that demonstrated the various areas tar-
geted when processing information using the auditory, vi-
sual, and kinesthetic skills? In Chapter 2, you will discover
that after the information passes into the brain, different ar-
eas are called upon to process the data.
