According to that article, the brain remembers visual/tactile memories equally well and better than auditory memory.
So in order to prove learning styles exist, we'd need to find people who provably have better auditory memories than visual memories.
I've not seen any studies or data for this, so I'd hesitate to call it a myth until I did, since on the surface the idea seems plausible. Wish the paper referenced in that article wasn't paywalled. Be curious if it's been shown that all (or a large majority) of people tested show the same result (visual/tactile > auditory).
