===Dyslexia=== {{Main|Dyslexia}} Research suggests that dyslexia is a symptom of a predominant visual/spatial learning.<ref>Morgan (1896), Hinselwood (1900), Orton (1925)</ref> Morgan used the term 'word blindness,' in 1896. Hinselwood expanded on 'word blindness' to describe the reversing of letters and similar phenomena in the 1900s.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} Orton suggested that individuals have difficulty associating the visual with the verbal form of words, in 1925.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} Further studies, using technologies (PET and MRI), and wider and varied user groups in various languages, support the earlier findings.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} Visual-spatial symptoms ([[dyslexia]], [[developmental coordination disorder]], [[Auditory processing disorder]] and the like) arise in non-visual and non-spatial environments and situations; hence, visual/spatial learning is aggravated by an [[education system]] based upon information presented in [[written text]] instead of presented via [[multimedia]] and [[Hands-on learning|hands-on experience]].
