What Is Auditory Learning?

If your learning style is auditory, what does that mean?

By , About.com Guide

Auditory learners understand new information best when they can hear it rather than see it.

These students learn best when they can listen to an explanation, a lecture, a performance. Audio books and recording devices are two of the auditory learner's best tools. Listening to a book, or notes, while reading increases this student's comprehension. Oral reports are a plus.

There is some controversy over whether or not the entire learning style theory is valid. See Learning Styles - The Controversy
