learning style

How you absorb

Learning style refers to the idea that individuals absorb information best through particular modes—visual, auditory, reading, or hands-on experience.

The concept is popular in education: She's a visual learner; diagrams help her understand.

Despite widespread belief in learning styles, research has largely failed to support matching teaching methods to supposed individual preferences.
