Using Visuals

So today I did an experiment.  I was tasked with communicating information to two people.  The information was the same, but with one person I used a visual and with the other I did not use a visual.  I know that both individuals prefer an auditory style of learning. 

After meeting with each, I found that even though they both have auditory styles of learning, using the visual still made a dramatic impact to the retention and understanding of the information being presented.  Very interesting.
