Visualiser - GCSE Psychology Definition

Reviewed by: Lucy Vinson

Last updated

In GCSE Psychology, a visualise refers to someone who thinks and processes information best through images and visual aids. Visualisers find it easier to understand ideas when they can see them, such as diagrams, charts, pictures, or videos. For instance, if visualisers learn about the brain, they might find it helpful to look at a diagram of the brain to understand where different parts are and what they do. This is different from verbalisers, who prefer using words and verbal descriptions to learn and understand information. Understanding if you are a visualiser can help you find the best study methods for you, making learning more effective and enjoyable.
