Ren, definitely go to the link kimck posted - lots of helpful articles there. I likewise would refer to this as visual-spatial (right-brained) learning vs. auditory-sequential (left-brained) learning. There are so many articles I like from that website that I'd just end up posting links to them all LOL, so I'll let you look for yourself. Also there's Linda Silverman's excellent book, "Upside Down Brilliance, the Visual Spatial Learner". It's out of print, but sometimes there are used ones on amazon. In my opinion, it is the bible on this subject (some of what is in the book is also located somewhere on the web, though not nearly all of it and not all in one place).

Here are a handful of articles that I am preparing to give to my kids' teachers (I have at least two VSLs):

hope this helps...
