Research on Learners
• 18% are auditory learners• 32% are visual learners• 25% are tactile learners• 25% are kinesthetic learnerswhich means that greater than 50%
of learners are nonlinguistic
Brain Enrichment Variables
• Challenge• Novelty• Feedback • Coherence • Time
QUESTIONS
• What is nonlinguistic representation?
• What are the six patterns of nonlinguistic representation?
• How do we teach nonlinguistic representation to our students?
What is nonlinguistic representation?
• It is an imagery mode of representation
• The imagery mode is expressed as mental pictures and physical sensations such as smell, taste, touch, kinesthetic association, and sound
• A way to raise percentiles by 27 points
How to Use Nonlinguistic Representation
• Graphic organizers• Make Physical Models• Generate Mental Pictures• Draw Pictures and Pictographs• Engage in Kinesthetic Activity
Patterns of nonlinguistic representation
• Descriptive Patterns
• Time-Sequence Patterns
• Process/Cause-Effect Patterns
• Episode Patterns• Generalization/
Principle Patterns• Concept Patterns
Descriptive Patterns
• They can be used to represent facts about specific persons, places, things, and events.
• The information does not need to be in any particular order.

Time-Sequence Patterns
• Organize events in a specific chronological order

Process/Cause-Effect Patterns
• Organize information into a casual network leading to a specific outcome or into a sequence of steps leading to a specific product
EFFECT
Episode Patterns
• Organize information about specific events including:
- a setting (time and place)- specific people- specific duration- specific sequence of events- particular cause and effect

Generalization/Principal Patterns
• Organize information into general statements with supporting examples

Concept Patterns
• The most general of all patterns • Organize information around a
word or phrase that represents entire classes or categories of persons, places things, and events

Make Physical Models
• Concrete representation of the knowledge that is being learned
• Souvenirs/tokens• 3D models – dioramas• File folder reviews
Draw Pictures and Pictographs
• Symbolic pictures that represent the knowledge that has been learned
• Flip books• Illustrate vocabulary
Engage in Kinesthetic Activity
• Physical movement associated with knowledge generates a mental image of the knowledge in the mind
• Finger plays• Role playing/charades• Elkonin boxes• Hand/body movements
