> “Another nail in the coffin for learning styles” – students did not benefit from studying according to their supposed learning style > By Christian Jarrett > The idea that we learn better when taught via our preferred modality or “learning style” – such as visually, orally, or by doing – is not supported by evidence. Specifically, x is "when taught via our preferred modality", and y is "we learn better". The first sentence of the article gets it right, but the headline is where the false leap of logic occurs. Perhaps the headline-writer is a different person to the article-writer. Edit: As pointed out by sirclueless, the headline was further distorted by empath75 when posted on HN.
