Many of these reasons are why I didn't take notes in most of my classes (for some it was obviously necessary).
PG used to get perturbed at me when I wouldn't write anything down when I had meetings with him. But really, it was because I wanted 100% of my attention focused on listening.
- cstejerean 18y agoI was just reading something about how people have different ways of taking in information, and it can be a challenge trying to speak to someone that has a different method. For example people that learn by taking notes are generally bothered when they speak to someone that isn't taking notes, whereas people that learn by listening carefully are bothered when the people they speak to are constantly taking notes. It's something I'll try to remember next time I'm in a meeting.
- pasbesoin 18y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Other_models http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Other_models One of the most common and widely-used categorizations of the various types of learning styles is Fleming's VARK model: 1. visual learners; 2. auditory learners; 3. reading/writing-preference learners; 4. kinesthetic learners or tactile learners Visual learners learn through seeing (think in pictures; visual aids such as overhead slides, diagrams, handouts, etc.). Auditory learners learn through listening (lectures, discussions, tapes, etc.). Tactile/kinesthetic learners learn through experience -- moving, touching, and doing (active exploration of the world; science projects; experiments, etc.).
- dhimes 18y agoHere's another excellent site for learning styles if you are interested: http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILSpage.html http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILS... In particular, visual is opposed to verbal in this model, whether it comes from reading or hearing. This model seems to be more concerned on how the brain organizes the sensory input. VARK is more about cataloguing the types of sensory input.
- tjr 18y agoI tend to be the same way. Taking notes whilst listening to someone speak interrupts my ability to absorb what they are saying. That said, depending on the nature of the speech, a few keyword notes are harmless (and sometimes required), and it seems prudent to write things down in more detail as quickly as possible afterwards.
- jeroen 18y agoSomething similar happens when I'm on a trip and bring my camera. I can take home either pictures or memories.
- jleyank 18y agoI try for both when I have a camera. The act of taking a picture is so short, and framing a picture is in sync with appreciating the view. For OMFG moments, the camera comes second, and can occasionally be missed. For rapid-fire events, I've found that the camera (DSLR) has caught things I've missed cuz the eye's only so fast and the "data buffer's so small...
- khafra 18y agoI comprehend more deeply when I just listen, but remember better when I take notes. If I'm the only one listening, I'll often absorb one concept, then ask the speaker to pause for 30-60 seconds while I scribble down some notes.
