Explain key influences on the personal learning processes of individuals. Assess the impact of key influences on the personal learning processes on own learning. There are many different factors that influence a persons learning; these can be negative or positive, stimuliâs or barriers. Visual learning styles are called kinaesthetic and auditory.

Barriers of learning include setting; noise and lighting are important factors whilst learning, for example, in a very noisy environment someone would find it hard to concentrate. Active experimentation (exploring/ revising approaches) - this is the last stage in the cycle, this is the planning stage, what you will do next time differently, the person learns to deal with the different aspects differently from what they have learnt.
