Is audio, visual, or reading out loud the most efficient method of studying?

I heard that what 90% of learning comes from what you see and hear, i also learn that reading in your mind is the most inefficient method of studying.

I test this method out.

For four weeks i read the newspaper 30 minutes and watched cnn news for 30 minutes.

I pick up words from CNN news which became part of my vocabulary.

I couldn’t remember the last word i picked up from reading the newspaper silently in my mind, it’s like i read the newspaper i hardly remember any facts about what i read but when i think about the news i remember the pictures and audio so i was able to recall the facts much faster.

For me, reading out loud is the most efficent. It allows me to understand what I am reading. When you read it in your head, sometimes the words can get mixed up in your head and you will forget something imporant.

It is well known that there are different learning ‘styles’. Some folk are better at seeing it done, then copying it, others like to read the directions, and still others like to be told what to do in order. It depends upon your style.

that is why teachers have hands on projects, listening activities and reading stuff. Each child has to be stimulated in his/her own style so that the material gets ‘in’ to the brain.

You appear to be an aural (hearing) learner. Capitalize on that and get ‘books on tape’ from the library when you have assignments that require reading.
