How do you process information?

So I was hanging with my grandchildren last night. After my grandson went to sleep his sister and I settled in to watch There’s A Ghost in Our House. Not a bad movie actually.

Instead of asking me to turn it up, Mary said, "Can you put on closed caption?" Once it was on she says, "Now I can hear it".

My immediate reaction was she needs to get her hearing checked. I asked if it had been checked. She wasn't sure. She told me she didn't think so and that she "definitely needed to get it checked".

I called her Mom about the next day. My daughter explained that she also uses closed caption because her brain's auditory processing is slower. One of her degrees is neoropsychology so I trust her.

I'd never really given it much thought before, but I'm very sensitive to noise & light. I wonder now if it's connected to how my brain processes information.

I use both text and video in my community. One of my members recently asked for more prompts to work with the video so I'm thinking I need to add writing prompts for the people who process best through journaling.

I'd love to hear if others have a preference between visual & auditory processing?

How are you incorporating this into your skool community?
