ABSTRACT

This chapter explains the key issues and provides clear guidance on how to use styles effectively within practice. In addition to an overview of key issues impacting on the application of styles, specifically examine the notions of verbal, visual, and kinesthetic styles (VAK). Which considers whether or not multiple intelligences actually exist or matter, and reconceptualize the style matching hypothesis. In many schools there is also no agreed vocabulary in which teachers might talk with their students about their learning, even though this is at the very heart of professional practice'. In considering cognitive overload, cognitive load theory is relevant (CLT). The multiple intelligences (MI) theory is built around the premise that individuals have a number of separate and distinct intelligences rather than possessing a single all-purpose intelligence. 'Working memory refers to our capacity to temporarily hold a limited set of information in our attention when we are processing it'.
