Left Brain
The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for sequential learning. Whereas the right brain is concerned with visual and spacial tasks, the left prefers academic pursuits like analysis, language and mathematics. The left brain processes information in a linear fashion. Such individuals rely on a sequential, logical system to solve problems. They prefer reviewing all the information before drawing a conclusion.
Compartmentalization
Sequential learners feel the need to understand each step of a problem rather than the concentrating on the whole. In this way, they tend to be good spellers and mathematicians. One drawback of sequential thinking is becoming frustrated and stubborn to move on from a particular step of the problem. When solving a problem, it's often necessary to move forward to gain a better understanding. Sequential learners feel it is against their nature to do so.
Logic
Sequential thinkers look to logic and reason before emotion when dealing with problems. Even fundamental tasks are put in logical order. Organizing notes and documents as well as making comprehensive to-do lists comes easily. The most important tasks are put first regardless of the individual's preference.
Advantage
Sequential learners have an advantage in the classroom. They respond well to traditional teaching methods that progress incrementally. Reading and understanding one chapter at a time is an easy concept for a sequential thinker. Examinations of multiple choice, true-false and filling in bubbles are simple methods to master for a sequential learner.
