Assessed Activity 1.2 Vakog & NLP




                      VAKOG & NLP



VAKOG stands for Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory and Gustatory and is an acronym meaning the use of these senses for our benefit to make better connections with people, (Xiao chi Liu, 2015) 

Below I will give a brief explanation of three of these senses, the three being Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic.

Visual people are more able to visualise things. Sight, Visual imagery, Spacial awareness. Their visual nature effects their language too, so they will see the bigger picture, look forward, say what they see. Their words will demonstrate their visual nature. But much more than that, quite often their eyes will reveal their visual nature for example if you are visualizing your eyes tend to look up (Wiki.org, 2015)

Auditory people, sound, speech, dialog, lead with their hearing. They are able to understand easily just through audio. They might, say ideas or may need to relay or express themselves or maybe need to be heard.

Kinesthetic people like the way stuff feels, they go with their gut instinct and what “feels right” in the circumstances. Kinesthetic eye cues are downwards.

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming and regard how the mind processes and stores information, The idea of this model is that the experience is represented in the mind in sensorial terms, the five senses, NLP represents the three main components involved when we interact with our environment, the neurological system controls, navigates and receives information to produce our experiences, linguistics is our communication with others and programming is what we have learnt and stipulates how we action what we have learnt for example a standard of work that is required of a student, the student has learned a behavioral pattern that is expected of him, therefore maintains that standard throughout his work. (Mather, S, 2015)

This combined knowledge of NLP and the VAKOG sensing capability of information becomes crucial in developing and framing educational material and choosing the media to be used (Exploring DLT, 2013)
