Visual-spatial learners think in pictures rather than in words.
They learn better visually than auditorally. They learn
all-at-once, and when the light bulb goes on,
the learning is permanent.

They do not learn from repetition and drill. They are
whole-part learners who need to see the big picture first
before they learn the details.

They are non-sequential, which means that they do not
learn in the step-by-step manner in which most
teachers teach. They arrive at correct solutions
without taking steps, so “show your work” may
be impossible for them.
