| Sep 3, 2015 at 0:12 | comment | added | user1482 | @AnonymousPhysicist: The answer isn't just stating that learning styles exist as preferences, it's claiming that catering to them is educationally beneficial. That isn't true. See Pashler et al., "Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence," psi.sagepub.com/content/9/3/105.abstract . | |
| Sep 2, 2015 at 23:21 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | @EnergyNumbers, quackery may be too strong a word. Learning styles are preferences, and those preferences appear very consistently in experiments. Businesses that promote learning styles as a useful tool may be dishonest, though. | |

| Sep 2, 2015 at 21:39 | comment | added | Genevie | yes, you have a valid point. But I think if some if there are more types of the same material, it does help the individual learn in a more efficient way. But I guess this also goes into educational theory and personal or intellectual opinions on the topic. | |
