{{short description|Learning by physical activities}} {{More citations needed|date=January 2016}} '''Kinesthetic learning''' (American English), '''kinaesthetic learning''' (British English), or '''tactile learning''' is [[learning]] that involves physical activity. As cited by Favre (2009), Dunn and Dunn define kinesthetic learners as students who prefer whole-body movement to process new and difficult information.<ref name="auto2">{{Cite journal|doi=10.2190/N836-888L-2311-2374|title=Learning-Style Preferences of a Diverse Freshmen Population in a Large, Private, Metropolitan University by Gender and GPA|journal=Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice|volume=9|pages=95β112|year=2007|last1=Reese|first1=Valerie L.|last2=Dunn|first2=Rita|s2cid=144555524}}</ref> However, scientific studies do not support the claim that using kinesthetic modality improves learning in students who identified kinesthetic learning as their preferred [[learning style]].
