When I learn or am trying to absorb Information. I have to hear the words and follow along with the written words when Seibel.

So I download audio files of my text books and take good notes, and when I go over my notes I always read them out loud.

The motion of the writing and picturing the words in my mind, I always find it easier to retain information. In studying Gardener’s effectively and efficiently.
