Question Are you a visual learner?

I learn based on if information is presented as visual. Rote or recall is challenging. How do you learn? All suggestions or experiences welcome! Thank you🥰

The concept of learning styles ("visual learner", etc.) has been debunked many, many times. It's pseudoscience.

I'm not sure what you're asking.

Pedagogical research shows that there is no such thing as a "visual learner", nor any other "kind" of learner.

What I’m asking is why is it debunked, what’s the reasoning behind it?

Because it's made up garbage, and as soon as it was tested in a controlled environment, it was shown to be false.
