1. According to maturity

 

There are differences in the way and the rythm of learning according to the age. In the areas where less experience and more information memorizing is needed an older learner tends to learn slower than a younger one. As a result:
  • The old learners are based on previous experiences in order to acquire and process new information.
    How to learn:
    • Since you see all the new material through the lens of their existing experience and knowledge, you should ask for constant feedback. Constant feedback is essential in order to check what you are learning.

  • The younger learners are based more on their ability to memorize and less to previous experiences.
    How to learn:
    • Use audiovisual information to extend your memory.
    • Use diagrams, colors, charts, to make the appropriate associations with the learning material in order to memorize it in a easier way.
