Understanding the Statistics of Visual Learners

FACT Approximately 65 percent of the population is opthalmic learners. FACT The brain processes ocular information 60,000 faster than text. FACT 90 percent of information that comes to the brain is visual. FACT 40 percent of every last(predicate) essence fibers connected to the brain are linked to the retina. FACT optical Literacy is the ability to encode (create a visual language) & decode (understand a visual language).FACT Visual aids in the classroom improve learning by up to 400 percent. FACT Students who are twice exceptional (2e) are often visual learners. 1. It is a freshet less time consuming to watch a movie than it is to require a book plus you can do it all at once. When exacting a book you have to keep stopping and starting where you left off. 2. In a movie you can see s carcely what is going on (i. e. action, drama, romance) whereas in a book you really have to use your imagination.Time is of the essence I read a lot and I read fast still if I were to spend my entire weekend doing nothing but reading Id be pushing to finish third novels (admittedly I read fantasy and they tend to be huge but still). If I spend the entire weekend honoring movies (unless Im watching Lord of the Rings or something equally epic) I can probably knock over about twelve movies. Movies skip out a lot of detail that appears in books, plus they dont need to describe scenes to you, they plainly flash a picture and move on.They are quicker in conveying the story. Special Effects Now it has been pointed out that our imagination has no limitations and special effects do so things that sound really good in books sometimes look quite ridiculous in movies. However, my imagination is limited by my sense of reality and so when a book has a car crash I see a little ding and a bit of broken glass, where as a movie will usually just blow the car up in a spectacular show of carnage.Logically I know the car probably wouldnt blow up but watching it on the screen I can go with it. Reading about it, I will usually tone it down. Action sequences yes you can read action sequences but I find them quite dull. Particularly sword fights. Please do not describe everything single thrust and parry to me if you take me to still be reading by the time the battle is over. However, in movies they define the show dont tell theory. It is a lot to a greater extent exciting to watch a sword fight than to read a blow by blow commentary on a sword fight.
