It would be the logical conclussion to think that, however I did some research on the subject and experimented on my students.

It differs from person to person, some go for the audio input and they are the people who do very well in lectures, some go for visual input, so they do well with the lecture in conjuction with retaining info with flow charts.

Some people have to include some form of physical activity to retain information. It all has to do with re-call and it is easy to test which way you prefer.

When you know you *know* the answer, do you recall where the answer is on the page of the book, or do you recall the person saying something, ie you hear the voice in your head, or do you remember hearing the dog barking, your body position and where you were?

The best method is a combination of all the different methods, and that overcomes the difficulty children have today with reading. The brain has changed, and they don't find reading as easy as we do. Remember that next time you nag your kids to read

But for me it will always be reading, I have had a love affair with books ever since I can remember. I have a whole wall of books in my drawing room, yes I am that exciting!
