Re:No evidence to back idea of learning styles by brerrabbit on Wednesday March 15, 2017 @06:13PM (#13880352)
My entire life, listening to classroom lecture has been an absolute struggle for me. It requires a monumental amount of effort and willpower to pay attention, process and retain all that info at the same time.

On the other hand, I can read something once and If I can handle the material, I typically retain it effortlessly. I know a lot of other people that cannot self-educate via reading.

This study seems to be suggesting something similar to a denial that introverted and extroverted types exist. How can they not?

Im a little suspicious of the proposition:

poor results when current matching styles to lessons = learning styles do not exist.

Is this really a problem with teaching styles?

Sounds more like a general problem that also happens to impact your learning performance.
