This article seems to measure something orthogonal to learning styles, namely that multiple styles combined and variety/novelty also play a key role.
Can someone explain to me what the data in this article has to do with learning styles as they're commonly thought of?
- jfarmer 12y agoThe concept of "learning styles" is something _we_ invented. It's not as if it has any intrinsic reality as a category, at least until we demonstrate it does. This article is arguing (rightly) that it's not a useful way of thinking about how people learn. Or, at least, obscures the reality of how people _actually_ learn and makes it more difficult for us to explore that reality.
