Lookers are visual learners who rely on the sense of sight when absorbing information. They are naturally drawn to sights of familiar objects, and quickly pick up on and remember visual cues like motion, color, shape, and size. Most Lookers have excellent eye-hand coordination, with an inborn tendency to look at something and then quickly put their hands to work to show what they've learned about it. In fact, most Lookers excel at all fine motor activities—activities that involve both the eyes and the small muscles, such as those in the fingers.
Baby Lookers, for example, prefer gazing at the pictures and turning the pages of a book to actually listening to the story. Lookers in preschool and kindergarten are attracted to puzzles, blocks, cutting and pasting, and other activities that involve their eyes and hands. Drawing and printing come easily, as does the memorizing of words as "pictures"—hat, boy, dog, and so on—by the beginning reader. It comes as no surprise that Lookers go on to enjoy board games, art projects, crafts and models, calculators and computers, video games, and TV sports.
Lookers meet fine motor milestones—those aided by their superior eye-hand coordination—with ease. Because Lookers tend to ignore other types of stimulation in favor of the sights around them, however, they must work at developing their language ability, their social skills, and their full-body coordination.
