The Logical Learning Style

Collective Learning - By Lindsay Benitez

We’ve covered several learning styles in this series with the goal of helping both students and educators in their respective aspect of the learning experience. The logical learning style is characterized by comprehending new information through human logic and mathematics. What exactly does this mean? It can be translated as: students categorizing material, cataloging, and identifying patterns in the content presented to them. An individual engaging in logical learning may approach new material from an abstract perspective and attempt to identify relationships in the content. Logical learners may even create a story map or outline to organize the material.

Create lists during study sessions by identifying main points
Utilize analyses and statistics when determining concentration areas
Refocus on activities that give forward momentum to avoid overanalyzing content
Engage in structured, goal-oriented activities

Does this sound like you? The more you understand and are knowledgeable of the various learning styles, the more prepared you will be to interpret and master new information. Take note of the natural way you learn, as well as other techniques you can use to enhance your learning.
