The reporter doesn't make any claims like that. The word "prove" or "proof" don't appear at all. Instead they say, "The findings do not support the learning styles concept," and "Student grade performance was not correlated in any meaningful way with their dominant learning style or with any learning style(s) they scored highly on."
If there's a complaint to be had here, it's that the HN poster changed the word "did" to "do" in the headline while posting here.
- rectang 8y ago> the HN poster changed the word "did" to "do" in the headline Well spotted! That's a pretty misleading change.
- dang 8y agoProbably because the 80 char limit kicked in. But we can squeeze in "did" by squeezing out "their".
- empath75 8y agoYeah I was 1 character over the limit.
- forapurpose 8y agoCould someone add (2015) to the story linked below? It seems to have been overlooked, and the title is otherwise misleading about an alarming topic. Thanks. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17112746 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17112746
