    AQA GCSE · Question 16 · Cognition and Behaviour

    Matt is looking at a drawing of how castles were designed. Which one of the following learning styles is he using?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Fixed

    B.

    Growth

    C.

    Verbaliser

    D.

    Visualiser

    How to approach this question

    Identify the action Matt is performing: 'looking at a drawing'. Match this action to the definitions of the options provided. 'Fixed' and 'Growth' are mindsets, not learning styles, so they can be eliminated. 'Verbaliser' relates to words, while 'Visualiser' relates to images. Since Matt is looking at a drawing, 'Visualiser' is the correct learning style.

    Full Answer

    D.Visualiser✓ Correct
    The correct answer is D. A visual learning style involves learning through seeing. Looking at a drawing or diagram is a classic example of engaging in visual learning.
    The concept of learning styles suggests that individuals have different preferences for how they absorb and process information. A common distinction is between visualisers and verbalisers. Visualisers learn best from visual information like diagrams, charts, and images. Verbalisers learn best from verbal information, such as reading text or listening to explanations. In this scenario, Matt is learning by looking at a drawing, which is a visual activity, making him a visualiser in this context. 'Fixed' and 'Growth' refer to Carol Dweck's Mindset Theory, which is about beliefs about intelligence and ability, not learning preferences.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing learning styles with Dweck's mindset theory and choosing 'Fixed' or 'Growth'.
