    I agree that I am an auditory and visual learner. I learn best hearing and seeing things for myself. I have been an auditory learner since I was young, for instance, when I was young all my mom had to do was make whatever she wanted me to learn into a song, and I would have it mesmerized in a day.

Since I am a physical learner I use my cerebellum and also my motor cortex (at the back of the frontal lobe) which handles much of our physical movement. Some strategies or techniques that me and other students can use to leverage in our online and face to face courses is to use physical objects as much as possible. Physically touching object as we learn what they do helps us learn faster and more efficient. Flash cards is another way that can help us memorize information because you can touch them and move them around.
