ABSTRACT
By communicating with others, people acquire knowledge and skills by reading and listening, and people pass on knowledge and skills by writing and speaking. These are language-based systems and clearly verbal processing is involved but visual and kinaesthetic processing are also involved in reading, writing, listening and talking. Doing and taking-action are not just about communication; they are involved in many other situations that use the kinaesthetic sense, in particular, practical work and physical experiences. When one person instinctively uses the kinaesthetic thinking preference and another the verbal one, communication between them can be difficult. Experience is in some ways more fundamental than reading or hearing about something.
