Okay, I’m going to go with a definition hopefully we all can Identify with:

“Come here, kid. Let me show you how to do something useful.” said someone older person in your life.

Learning by observation is all about you making the concise effort to learn by observing on someone performing the action you wish to master. Think about it. How did you learn to walk as a kid was it due to the effort of someone giving you a task book and sitting down in front of teacher in class room. You learned, we all learned to walk by watching and observing someone doing an action.

Yes, there was someone there to catch us and hold us up if we should fall but ultimately, our observation and attention is what sparked our minds take in that information and conduct experiments with the knowledge that came from your observations.

This is a form of visual learning. We all gifts and abilities for learning in certain ways. Take the scientist who conducts careful observations on a hurricane patterns for decades to find out if there is rise, fall, or average on the rate of them striking in one state or country. If you want to know yourself and how best you learn something you need to observe yourself and take careful observation of when you learn something new, maintain that knowledge and grow to master it. If you want to write more observe your patterns of effectiveness and times of day you are at your high or low performance and for what reasons.
