Learning Styles

Pashler, H., McDaniel, M., Rohrer, D., & Bjork, R. (2008). Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence.Psychological Science in the Public Interst, 9(3), 10-119.


Learners have different styles of learning, e.g. some learn by visual material and some learn better with verbal, and these difference in style should be considered for instructions.


Student's studying preference is not the same thing as his/her learning styles, and instructions cannot be based on it.


Learning style hypothesis: Individualizing instruction to the learner's style can result in better learning outcomes for that learner.
Learning style's meshing hypothesis: the claim that presentation should mesh with learner's style; instruction matches the learner's style
