Since humans like to use different senses to receive, store and then apply new information the use of visual stimulus is another way of getting them to look at the big picture of where their training will take them. Sometimes students forget how far they have progressed in a course until they see examples of skills they now have. As in Cosmetology, they can see themselves moving from just understanding color to use of the color wheel in meeting customer needs. Sometimes the “forest and trees” syndrome takes over. The instructor has the responsibility to keep clearing away the “trees” so the students can see clearly what they have learned.
