Prior to Fleming's work, VAK was in common usage. Fleming split the Visual dimension (the V in VAK) into two parts—symbolic as Visual (V) and text as Read/write (R). This created a fourth mode, Read/write and brought about the word VARK for a new concept, a learning-preferences approach, a questionnaire and support materials.
Visual learning is a learning style among the learning styles of Neil Fleming's VARK model in which information is presented to a learner in a visual format. Visual learners can utilize graphs, charts, maps, diagrams, and other forms of visual stimulation to effectively interpret information.
Fleming's model also posits two types of multimodality. This means that not everyone has one defined preferred modality of learning; some people may have a mixture that makes up their preferred learning style. There are two types of multimodality learners: VARK type one learners are able to assimilate their learning style to those around them.
Neil Fleming, a New Zealand teacher and educational theorist, designed the VARK model (visual, aural or auditory, read/write and kinesthetic). [2] According to Fleming's model, kinesthetic learners are similar to tactile learners in that they like hands-on experiential learning.
Vark is an Indian confectionery garnish. Vark may also refer to: Vark, Afghanistan, a village in Badakhshan Province in north-eastern Afghanistan; Luisa Värk (born 1987), Estonian singer; VARK, a model of learning styles; A nickname for the F-111 Aardvark
For this reason, one often sees the term VAK in NLP reference texts, [citation needed] to signify these three primary representational systems, as well as the term 4-tuple (or VAKOG) [citation needed] if the author wishes to include all senses including taste/smell.
Fleming was born on May 26, 1936 [3] and graduated from The University of the South in 1958. After studying at Jesus College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, Fleming earned his Ph.D. in medieval literature from Princeton University in 1963 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled "The Roman de la Rose and its manuscript illustrations", under the supervision of D. W. Robertson Jr. [4] He ...
In probability theory, a Fleming–Viot process (F–V process) is a member of a particular subset of probability measure-valued Markov processes on compact metric spaces, as defined in the 1979 paper by Wendell Helms Fleming and Michel Viot. Such processes are martingales and diffusions.
