ABSTRACT
It is apparent to many of those who have considered learning, even if only in passing, that we learn in different ways from one another and we often choose to use what has become known as a ‘preferred learning style’. The literature on the subject is vast and a full review of what has been written would take in many other related areas that deal with the same, or at least very similar and very closely related, ideas. Cognitive style, for example, is an area of psychology that investigates the preferred style of thinking and problem solving an individual may have. The term ‘learning preferences’ is also widely used to refer to what we shall here refer to as ‘learning style’.
