A researcher learns by exploring. After a critical, comparative and often skeptical examination of new content or skills, he becomes curious. Now he generates his own tasks or problems on which the sense of the new knowledge or skills can be proven. Through analysis and research (reading, questions) he gets to the bottom of the “secrets”. Helpful for this learning process are own sketches, graphics and excursions (sensory + motor skills).

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

Learning is from the perspective of needing recognition: I like to read or tinker with something. When my computer doesn’t work, I look for errors, usually find them, otherwise I just do some research. In the forums there is always someone who knows something. The best way to find out is by critical comparison. Trying. Testing. Remember the best approach. Keep watching to see if someone finds something better. It’s good if I can read up on the content somewhere, like I used to. Otherwise, I jot down a few keywords for later. Then I look on the internet at home for more information and maybe critical comments about it.

The cognition part has a simple opinion: I always learn when I am awake. I am simply a very curious person and want to recognize and know everything. Thereby I compare what is with what I expect and with what I have already experienced. Every difference is a new realization. I take note of something. If I want to feel something exactly, I take it in my hand, turn it back and forth. Everything has several sides, and I don’t want to miss anything. To learn I have to move, at least my hands, I walk up and down and also like to use an excursion before I draw, analyze and describe the realization.
