What does Kinesthetic mean?

Question

Visual and kinesthetic modalities

I needed to edit your post in order to clarify the purpose for your request.

Are you asking for a translation into Spanish, please, or to know what the word Kinesthetic actually means in English?

If it is the first, please re-phrase request as either please translate Kinesthetic or What does Kinesthetic mean in Spanish?

I agree the sentence should have been more clear, but I don’t think it should have been flagged. I believe the intent was implicit in the words. - Rolest, Jun 19, 2010

Fair comment I may have been a little hasty in flagging it in which case I am sorry but it was not clear to me whether Mafelda was wanting a translation or simply information - FELIZ77, Jun 19, 2010

First thank you for answering, ....well, I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough with my request. I just need the translation. I looked and looked and wans't able to find and translation into Spanish. - mafalda2000, Jun 22, 2010

Answer 1

I don't know why this was flagged, I understand perfect. I've heard of Visual and Kinesthetic learners (aka modalities).

Representational systems (also known as sensory modalities and abbreviated to VAKOG or known as the 4-tuple) is a neuro-linguistic programming model that examines how the human mind processes information. It states that for practical purposes, information is (or can be treated as if) processed through the senses. Thus people say one talks to oneself (the auditory sense) even if no words are emitted, one makes pictures in one's head when thinking or dreaming (the visual sense), and one considers feelings in the body and emotions (known as the kinesthetic sense).

You can read about it more here.

Great answer. Very technical, and accurate. There might be some people who may now become aware of the underlying processes of how language is processed in the brain. - Rolest, Jun 19, 2010

Answer 2

The most common Spanish adjective I have found used by educators in Spanish is kinestésico. It behaves like a normal Spanish adjective in that it will agree in number and gender with the noun it modifies (-o, -os, -a, -as).

Answer 3

Kinesthetics as far as I am aware is the study of movement

I could not find the word anywhere in my Spanish or English Dictionary. An educated guess that the word would be KInestéticos this would need to be confirmed by a native/advanced speaker.

People who principally learn through auditory stimuli learn mainly through hearing instructions People who learn principally through visual stimuli learn mainly by means of what they see People who learn kinesthetically learn principally through first hand or direct experience

While most of us learn through a combination of styles we will have one preferred style and young children learn particularly through kinesthetic style - through learning by moving around and experiencing life through personal experince.

I hope that you didnt mind me using these examples
