We continue with these systems derived from our Multiple Intelligences , detailing the profile of children who use this information processing system from an auditory, musical modality that is much more sound-oriented. We continue with the auditory child, the second common of the three (35% of the population).

Our children who need to hear themselves to learn, strong in learning language and music. They tend to be social and verbal, always skilled in sequenced and ordered learning. They are easily distracted and do not give much importance to their appearance. When they think they look to the sides. They are fond of details but have a hard time seeing things as a whole.

Children who memorize auditorily cannot forget a word , because they do not know how to follow. It's like cutting a cassette tape. The auditory system does not allow us to relate concepts or develop abstract concepts with the same ease as the visual system and it is not as fast. It is, however, fundamental in learning languages, language, and naturally, music. Auditory children learn best when they receive explanations orally and when they can speak and explain that information to another person.

The auditory and musical child excels in intrapersonal skills with listening, also with great ability to recognize sounds, melodies and rhythms. He is drawn to sound, the noise of objects, of himself. Sing, hum, listen to different instruments and listen to music.

What we can see behaviorally in an auditory child is… that he generally talks to himself, he is easily distracted. Move your lips when reading. He has a way with words, monopolizes the conversation, likes music and expresses his emotions verbally. At the learning level, they learn what they hear, by repeating themselves step by step. If they forget a step, they are lost and they do not have a global vision with a more receptive than active profile.

When he reads stories he likes dialogues and plays, he avoids long descriptions, moves his lips and does not pay attention to the illustrations. His imagination thinks in sounds and does not remember so many details. Its memory remembers what it hears, for example names but not faces. It stores information sequentially and in entire blocks, so it is lost if you ask it about an isolated element or if you change the order. During periods of inactivity he hums to himself or talks to objects, toys. At the communication level, he likes to listen but has to speak quickly, he tends to make long descriptions. Gets distracted when there is noise.
