Cognitive development in the school age years….intellectual
growth, problem-solving, language, information processing…the
very stuff of learning. But how do we learn? Years of research will
reveal that we learn through various sensory modalities and with
different styles. Some of us are auditory learners, some visual,
others tactile or kinesthetic, or even masters at discriminating
subtle differences in odors thus exhibiting fine olfactory
powers.

Certainly knowing how children learn is paramount to their
school success; indeed, perhaps as children, information was
presented to you in one modality or style which was not
complementary to your own style. The result of such a mismatch?
Struggle, even failure
