How People Learn

Abstract

Examples of elements that incorporate visual learning include: • Action pages with fill-in-the-blanks, sample calendar pages, or case studies. • Visualization. Have learners describe a picture or image that comes to mind when they think of topics such as credit, children learning about money, or insurance. • Images and pictures as well as words in PowerPoint presentations. • Videos relating to topics, such as developing and managing a spending plan, solving consumer problems, or culture and resources. • Graphics, such as a circle with spokes extending from the outer edge. Learners write the word “debt” in the circle and on each spoke write one thing they can do to pay off their debt. Or have them draw a picture of a bank in the circle and on each of the spokes draw pictures that are associated with a bank.
