Editor's Notes

  • #11 ANSWER AND RATIONALE: 3. Abstract conceptualization. Those predisposed to abstract conceptualization are considered data organizers. These learners order and arrange information in meaningful ways and are often happier in a lecture-type format, where they will write and arrange notes to their liking. Extroverts prefer to talk about things. They are seen as action-oriented, outgoing people. 2. Discovery learners prefer to arrive at information on their own through experimentation and problem solving. 4. Abstract random learners use their emotions and senses to grasp new information.
