The Adult Mind and Abilities Within

The way a human learns is very exciting and can really go in depth when explored. The brain is in control of everything, there are endless abilities it can do and plays an enormous role in how the average human learns. There are various learning styles and theories of intelligences that can explain or even put in perspective in everything we do. Without the exploration of multiple intelligences, the knowledge of how humans learn would be irrelevant.

Learning something new can be very easy or very difficult depending on the type of person and their capabilities. The only way to learn about something as humans is through our brain, but there are other factors that can be used to help along the process. Growing up the impressions of somebody who was looked to, could have had a tremendous impact on the way a person learns. As the individual gets older they come to know about the different styles of learning, either through school, work, or society. According to Gardner (2011), “There are seven different learning styles: visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social, and solitary”. Each one plays a big role in how information is retained or in how the individual learns. All of them can be used or some of them can be used, it is up to the person on which one will benefit them the most. Some may need to be improved to get the most out of what exactly is being learned. The capacity at which we learn is up to the individuals DNA. Some have to deal with challenges of learning, while others can be a genius. Could someone with a learning disability actually improve or get rid of it? There is an enormous amount of information that could lead people to believe it could happen and there are those people that have had learning challenges and ...

...ents somewhere in the learning realm that can be made, whether it is changing one style or all styles, the capacity of how a human learns will never be full.

There is a great deal of information that dictates the way we learn and how our intelligence plays a big role in the process. From all of the studies that been conducted over the years we can definitely improve our way of learning and therefore dictate the outcome of our future.
