It feels as though we learn better via our preferred learning style, but we don’t: A new study helps explain the myth.
It feels as though we learn better via our preferred learning style, but we don’t: A new study helps explain the myth.
"Consistent with past research on learning styles, the participants’
preferred learning style (verbal or pictorial) was not related in any
way to how well they recalled the pairs of words or the pairs of
pictures. In fact, regardless of their preferred learning style,
participants were better at remembering picture pairs than word pairs.
This is consistent with the well-known “picture superiority effect” –
pictures are easier to remember than words."
