What type of learner are you?

That sounds like you have a photographic memory! How cool!

There is no such thing as a photographic memory, but if there was, I promise you, I don't have one!!!! There are certain things that I can memorize easily, only because memory is an important skill to me and I have practiced it. One example is item lists. I have spent so much time memorizing foreign words, definitions from a glossary or Bible scriptures, that it hardly takes any time for me to get a solid mental grip of a list of items. When it comes to memorizing information in a textbook, I tend to look at things in categories and place things within them, or, think about new items of information radially, like a mind map or a concept map, but in my head, and instead of individual facts, I can often recall the layout of the page and where the information is kept. I'm not saying that I remember 100% what the page looked like, only that I have the general idea.
