===Gender differences===

Studies have indicated that adolescents learn best through 10 various styles: reading, manipulative activity, teacher explanation, auditory stimulation, visual demonstration, visual stimulation (electronic), visual stimulation (just pictures), games, social interaction, and personal experience.<ref>Eiszler, C. F. (1982). "Perceptual Preferences as an Aspect of Adolescent Learning Styles".</ref> According to the study, young adult males demonstrate a preference for learning through activities they are able to manipulate while young adult females show a greater preference for learning through teacher notes visually or by using graphs, and through reading. This suggests that women are more visually stimulated, interested in information that they can have physical direct control over. Men, on the other hand, learn best through reading information and having it explained in anby auditoryspoken fashionword.
