Maybe the science isn’t there to prove it on a macro level but I’ve found that I definitely learn better visually than auditorily. Tell me something and it doesn’t stick, draw me a picture and it’s in my head forever.

That is almost exactly what I was going write. One example is that I can't understand verbal directions for how to get from here to there but one look at a map and I've got it, often without referring to the map again.
“... draw me a picture and it’s in my head forever.”
Same experience, I am never offended if someone says, “do I have to draw you a picture?” I always reply, “Yes, please.”
Oddly, in history classes or literature, I could formulate a picture while the teacher would lecture, but math and science...NADA!
