Kinesthetic Learners Study Tips THAT WORK!

[@powerking451]

1. Use Note Cards because they give you something physical to hold and study 2. Take Active Breaks - Get up and move around or do some physical activity 3. Relate what you're learning to real life experiences, we prefer concrete evidence or real life examples 4. Study with others 5. Keep Hands or feet busy while studying 6. Be active while studying eg study while doing cardio at the gym or on a walk or chew gum while studying 7. Teach what you've learnt 8. Act or Trace our shapes

[@SharpCookie]

Great summary! Thank you for doing that!

[@LadyCharity]

Thank you for the summary 😊

[@mihaelfailslife2096]

I literally struggled to learn anything two days ago. Followed this and today I learned 30 pages of biology in an hour

[@tagliv]

❤ these are awesome tips thanks

[@FionaFlyte]

So great you're addressing this topic. Schools in general absolutely do NOT consider different learning styles effectively.

[@SharpCookie]

Exactly!! Trying to bring more awareness to this. Even as adults we still need to learn new information, and it helps to know how we learn best. Using a balance board with students, especially the younger ones was a game changer.

[@kingkoba5618]

Yeah you are right. I am having trouble in school because I am kinesthetic but school does not give hands on :(

[@suomusintti]

Because there are no learning styles

[@sinaisafo5300]

all my kinesthetic learners how y'all doing?

[@kikibtruth639]

I'm a kinesthetic learner and for me growing up it was difficult and now I know how I learn and want to teach teens and young adults how to simplify their learning on here as well so I enjoyed watching your video

[@urmom-np8yq]

bad bc its hard to learn my way during online classes :'(

[@kingkoba5618]

@@urmom-np8yq it is hard for me too. School will not give hands on to me! :( wish they were. I always liked hands on

[@Starburstluver69]

good

[@chickenwings6745]

I just learned that I am one. Describe me perfectly too!

[@manganesedreams]

I’m a former ‘gifted’ student who was never taught how to study and the different learning styles. Due to my disability it’s hard to learn how to study unless those answers were given directly to me. I relied on memory alone during school. I’m going back to study since I didn’t do well at university and hopefully this will help me. I’m a primary kinaesthetic learner and a secondary visual learner.

[@SharpCookie]

Yes, I can completely relate. Most of us were never taught how to study, and it really impacted how we did in school. Be sure to also check out the visual learner video, so you can combine both styles. Good luck with your studies!!

[@jonathanrascon6137]

[@Porkchopapii]

@@jonathanrascon6137Same, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder(Aspergers) and ADHD (Inattentive) disorder. I’m a primary kin-aesthetic learner and secondary visual learner.

[@lucyferno]

I’m a now cognitive neuroscientist and a former audio engineer I can tell you right now you’re on the right path and don’t lose faith. I was a gifted student too and not put in the right programs and had a major affect on my reality. It sucks but we have to adapt. You are brilliant. Even posting this you are bold. KEEP GOING. I PROMISE YOU MORE THERE IS MORE. I’m also designing a clothing line specific to kinesthetic learners. This “disability” has taken me to heights most humans can never experience. Embrace your oddities. I love you. -Lucy

[@manushsharma372]

True

[@Missnenanay]

I JUST realized my 10-year old is a kinesthetic learner and HOW MUCH i have NOT been helping him :( Now that I know, I am going to do all in my power to remember all of this. Saving this video!! THANK YOU!!

[@SharpCookie]

You're so welcome!! You sound like a wonderful parent who is doing everything you can! The most important thing you can do now is talk to him about kinesthetic learning. Use that language and explain to him what it means. You can even have him watch the video with you. It's amazing how much progress can be made when kids start to understand themselves on a deeper level, and they have words to describe it or even google it on their own and learn more about it. Self awareness is so critical. You can even explain to him the other types of learning so that he has a greater appreciation for how different people absorb information in different ways.

[@Ehlona]

I'm definitely a kinesthetic person. I was swinging the chair exactly as she explains in the video while I was watching.

[@SharpCookie]

That's so cool! Now you know why you do that ;)

[@chickenwings6745]

I just chew on my pen and tap my feet and tap my finger

[@toknowhealthiswealth]

I was rubbing my feet together 😅😅😅

[@AriVee901]

Rocking my feet back and forward and didn’t even realize it until I read your comment 🤣

[@YuliWinter]

This is really me. I am a kinesthetic learner. I wish I knew this earlier, but that's okay. I'm very happy because I actually know now.

[@SharpCookie]

So glad it helped!

[@courageousfitfemale]

Because I’m just finally realizing that I’m a mix of learners I decided to search up videos about different ways of learning for individuals and this was such a good one! Confirmation that I AM a kinesthetic learner, but also a combo of several depending on what I’m learning and the pace at how I need it to be to absorbed best. Thanks for your video!

[@SharpCookie]

You’re welcome! :) Glad to hear it helped!

[@donieshtelfer5733]

I talk to myself as if I was asked to explain a topic in class while I walk around the house. That works for me

[@SharpCookie]

That's an awesome idea! Love that!

[@teandriaaa]

Yesss same

[@Blue_Days178]

Another simple tip : make physical written notes. And then read them on your way to class or whatever. Really works for me

[@samiradalla2402]

I didn't know I was a kinesthetic/tactile learner I have never found a revision tool or way that helps me effectively knew there were different types of learners but I was only fond of visual and it was kind of scary that you described me perfectly even right now I just want to jump around and do something instead of learning this was so helpful thank you so much!!!

[@SharpCookie]

Yayayay!! I'm so happy for you! Yes, it can feel amazing when you start to understand yourself better and have new language to better explain how you think and learn. 👏👏👏

[@flutenanyidk1806]

I keep denying that I'm a kinesthetic learner because public school literally gives us no chance at using our learning style. Then I realize that my best playing test in band I practiced while I was pacing and not looking at the music. My best psychology test I've taken had an experiement done to illustrate one of the vocabulary words for that unit. I learn pretty effectively by reading a textbook, but it's always better when I apply it.

[@SharpCookie]

And self knowledge is so incredibly empowering! Never stop learning about yourself ;)

[@gaby-jm5ix]

I never studied for tests and got good grades but since the courses I’m taking are getting harder I wanted to study but I didn’t know how to so I just wrote notes. I passed but I got a 75 which is lower than what I usually get. I recently found out that I am a kinaesthetic learner so this really helped thank you! I hope I do well on my chemistry test.

[@SharpCookie]

Yes good luck with studying for your tests! Keep us posted on which study techniques worked best for you!

[@arthurstable223]

We had to watch this for school and i just came here to say you called me OUT. Like I saw the option and googled it and went "oh yeah that kinda sounds like me." And then you came for my neck with the fidgeting bit lmao. You brought that up while i was twirling a pen through my fingers and I just sat there like 0-0. I really appreciate the study tips. Most of these could be because I have adhd but I'm sure it works both ways.

[@SharpCookie]

Haha this made me laugh!! I love when viewers resonate with what I'm saying. Yes, there is some overlap between adhd and kinesthetic learners because they share some of the same traits. Let me know how you do with the study tips!

WOW!! I can’t thank you enough for creating this video! I’m a third year college student and from the recommendation of a random Facebook comment, I took a quiz on what my learning style is. To my surprise, I got that I was a “tactile” learner. It didn’t hit me how true it was until you mentioned a few tips that I only recently figured out through trial and error that help me SO MUCH while studying. I can’t wait to try them all out!!! Thank you!!!!

[@argent-wolfman90]

I often found that schools in Australia tend to be against kinesthetic learners and write off how smart they really are because they don't follow the norm. I found it easier to teach myself things rather than learn in a classroom.

[@gouenjishuuya6564]

Have always thought that I am a visual learner. But then I took a learning style quiz given by my lecturer and was surprised to find myself kinesthetic. I tried to watch your video and just realized I have been doing exactly the same as the tips you've given except for the note cards. But one of the weird thing is I'm quite weak when it comes to handcrafting (art, cooking)

[@maigematthews5620]

9:16 Awesome Content 🎉 Get a tutor on video call, like zoom, to help verbally explain the study material. And recite the study material to your tutor as if you were teaching it to them. Create a scenario about and enact a mini-skit about your study materials. For example, that mergers and acquisitions… You can act as if you’re in a conference room, arguing over the details of the merger. You can even make it a KZbin video! Journey method - take a walk/route and go over your notes via reading or listening. Then repeat by specifically walking the route the same way and reading/listening to your notes at the same synchronized timing. Use prompts/landmarks to help memorize concepts/definition of your study material. Thank you so much! ❤

[@sos_hodad]

I literally have to move. It feels like I don’t absorb anything unless I’m moving while learning. I definitely believe in teaching what I learn. There was a time I was learning 7 different languages and teaching each language to someone else.

Wish I would have stumbled upon this video sooner . Now i am a 25 yr adult and realized this due to experience. Ive lost my ability to memorize and retain information since i have lost touch with learning for over 10 years. I need to start learning to skill up for my career and i am finding it difficult now. It would be great if you could share a few tips.

Hi! You're not alone. Most people I talk to didn't discover their learning style until later in life. There are a lot of tips in the video---I would encourage you to experiment with trying different techniques that I talk about and see which ones work best for you. I also offer coaching if that's ever something you're interested in where I work one-on-one with clients to help them become better learners.

[@SharpCookie]

I've worked with kids that have ADHD. It takes some patience and adaptability. In the beginning you may have to switch subjects and tasks frequently to maintain attention, but over time, sustained focus can be improved like any other skill. Encourage daily reading as much as possible, this really builds that muscle.

HEY!! So to my fellow Kinaesthetic learners who want or need to keep things digital. If you have the privilege to and can afford To get one , use an iPad and stylus and invest in a note taking app like good notes (or procreate if you already have it) . And I would also use Feyn , which is a handwritten flash cards app , with an touchscreen writing style!! It’s so much better than just typing stuff out :)

[@estherkoh3400]

You are a life saver, thank you for sharing your tips! I have a question: How can we kinesthetic learners stay focussed in lectures (many words and seated for long periods), and absorb lecture notes or lengthy essays? I have trouble reading and focussing on journal papers for example. I zone out really quick. Thanks!

[@SharpCookie]

Great question! Bring some blank index cards with you to class and make flashcards of important points while you're listening to the lecture. This will keep you focused and your hands busy and then you can use the flash cards to study with. Also, take a break when you start zoning out and go out of the room and just walk and stretch a little bit or get some water. Even if you miss 5min of the lecture, it'll be more important for you to get a break so that then you can re-focus when you get back. For notes and essays, try to partner with someone or make a study group. You'll learn much more if you talk it out with someone rather than studying solo.

[@lucyferno]

Also don’t be hesitant to setting up your own audio recordings to listen back to it as much as needed. It will create new nuero-pathways of learning. Hope this added to the brilliant sharp cookie. I’m a cognitive neuroscientist so this speaks to me. Hope it finds you well. Love the brilliant message!

[@jada1327]

@@lucyferno I started doing this because I tend to tune people out if the subject is boring, too lengthy, or too wordy! When I record the lectures, I turn on transcripts so I can CTRL + F and find the keywords I am looking for, then I focus on creating my own learning/presentation material because I am now able to hone in on the important information without overloading. :)

[@g39652]

In these challenging times where everything is taught online via tutorials, I would like to know how to stay awake to watch them atleast once in order to prepare flash cards to learn later. I've tried note-taking but that process makes the video tutorial last even longer. The same applies to teaching for learning - I can teach only if I watch the tutorial in the first place. It's like a vicious circle and depending on others to buddy up isn't always possible. Taking breaks just distracts me to come back to the tutorial after the break as it is too boring just sitting and staring and trying to keep the attention span. Do help! Any more ideas are greatly appreciated.

[@SharpCookie]

Don't ever sit while watching. Experiment with standing up while watching or pacing or going for a walk or walking on a treadmill or using a stationary bike (if there's a way to watch the tutorials on your phone).

[@g39652]

Thanks, I'll definitely try that out ☺️

[@kalpanadass2668]

Great info. How do I know what type of learner my students are? some may be obvious but the rest? Any tips on that? Thank you so much.

[@SharpCookie]

Great question! I should probably do a video on this. A lot of it requires you to just observe your students and watch what their natural habits are (are they always doodling, do they have a hard time sitting and they're always fidgeting, do they verbalize a lot and constantly ask questions to point where they sometimes are talking more than you're able to teach, are they always reading and prefer reading all their worksheets and handouts precisely, etc) Aside from observing them, you can also ask them to memorize something, like an address for example. Then ask them how they did it. Usually our patterns for how we memorize things are linked to our learning styles. Do they visualize the address in their minds, do they repeat it over and over again, do they add a melody to it, etc. All of these things are data points to help you figure it out, but of course it's not an exact science and each student is unique. Most will have one dominant way of learning though. Another thing you can do is show the students these videos or explain to them the styles and ask them which feels the closest to describing them. Most people are aware enough about their own process to be able to recognize themselves in the descriptions.

Then ask them how they did it. Usually our patterns for how we memorize things are linked to our learning styles. Do they visualize the address in their minds, do they repeat it over and over again, do they add a melody to it, etc. All of these things are data points to help you figure it out, but of course it's not an exact science and each student is unique. Most will have one dominant way of learning though. Another thing you can do is show the students these videos or explain to them the styles and ask them which feels the closest to describing them. Most people are aware enough about their own process to be able to recognize themselves in the descriptions.

Are you a kinesthetic learner and have you tried any of these study tips? 😅

[@LaurenHebert8]

I think I'm partially a kinesthetic learner (minus playing sports well LOL)

[@SharpCookie]

Hahahah!!! How is your hand-eye coordination?

[@tkdelacruz]

My son sounds like a kinesthetic learner. However, he is ADHD, is there a connection?

[@SharpCookie]

@@tkdelacruz Hi, That's a really excellent question. I might do a video on that eventually because it's not a simple answer, and I think a lot of parents are wondering about this. Kinesthetic learning behaviors can often mimic ADHD symptoms. I was reading that it's estimated that almost 1million children are misdiagnosed with ADHD when they're actually just kinesthtic learners because the behaviors can look so similar. Someone with ADHD may be a kinesthetic learner as well or they may be another learning style. The main question you want to ask yourself is, "When have I observed my son learning most effectively? When is he the most focused?" If he is the most focused when he is tinkering with something like taking apart electronics or building things, he's probably kinesthetic. There's a difference between tinkering around with something because you want to learn how it works or because you want to build or create something versus mindless tinkering just to fidget. If he's most focused when his visual senses are stimulated by images, photographs, art, books, collages, drawings, etc, then he's probably a visual learner. If he's most focused when listening to music or an audio book or someone telling a story, then he is probably auditory. If he is most focused when he's talking and having a discussion and expressing his ideas, he is probably verbal. Watching some of my videos on the other learning styles should help as well. And yes, many of the tips I talk about in this video will also work for ADHD kids regardless of whether they're kinesthetic. Especially the tip about using a balance board / stress ball / fidget spinner / chewing gum when studying. When I tutor ADHD kids I let them move while we work together. So they might stand the whole session or sit on the floor or toss a ball the whole time or have their feet on the balance board while sitting in a chair. Hope this helps!

Maths is especially hard and it gets worst with advanced maths, only in my 30s now that I learnt the learning techniques. 1 solution is to seek out practical examples to complex concepts like calculus, and good teachers that can use simple, practical examples explained in a logical progression on KZbin. On my own, I tend to visualize the formulae and put them through examples visually (like virtual reality goggles).

Hi Janice - love all of your videos. Have you done tips for auditory learners? I can't seem to find that video on your page :)

[@SharpCookie]

It will come! I've filmed it already but need to edit it (I got busy this school year but will make a lot more videos over the summer)

[@fargouberguy]

Really amazing
