Learning "Styles" namely VAK and VARK are not backed by any evidence. Needless to say, I'm left wondering, does the definition of "learning" in these cases only refer to academia?

I'm wholly convinced that if you were to drop a blind person and a person with perfect vision in the middle of a corn labyrinth filled with venomous (but non-lethal so nobody dies) snakes, one of them has a much greater chance of making it out in one piece.

That being said, one of those individuals absorbed information about their environment visually and "learned" the necessary steps to survive in the situation. Whereas one of them was not able to employ a visual model of their surroundings and is probably wandering around the corn maze waiting for our hypothetical camera crew to supply them with the antidote for their bites.

Taking all of this into consideration, one of our participants, "learned" visually to put it briefly. If one is to expand their definition of "learning" to stretch far beyond academia (it does) there is such a thing as learning visually. I would like to emphasize this point, well, I already have emphasized this point by demonstrating that if you can visually process your environment you are more fit to survive.

Someone poke holes in this, the difference might be semantic, but if it's not and the definition of learning is as described. I'm right.

I apologise for assuming you were the OP. It's still important to communicate. Again, I'm sorry.
