The empirical evidence rejects that idea.
- 0xbadcafebee 6y agoSo why do I learn things better in a different way than most other people? You can sit me down at a handful of basic math problems and it will take me literally 3 hours to work through them, and I'll still screw them up. Or you can give me a block of wood, a hand saw, a ruler, square, and I can teach myself some trig in a few hours.
- omginternets 6y agoLiterally everyone finds concrete reasoning (block of wood) more intuitive than abstract reasoning. Some people have a relative (often cultivated) skill for abstract reasoning, but they improve that skill in very much the same way you do. I invite you to read some peer-reviewed literature on the subject. If you prefer a non-peer reviewed book by an accomplished researcher, I would recommend Stanislas Dehaene’s “How we Learn”. In any case: there is no evidence for “learning styles”.
