  I just picked up a book on this! There is, of course, an incredibly racist history to the use of these concepts.

  Those were disproven long before then. They are interesting to think about as different sensory inputs to engage, but are complete nonsense as far as learning styles.

    …So what learning styles are there?

      Teacher here. Now we get taught that the main mechanism for learning is attention, usually triggered by a combo of motivation and diversity (as opposed to monotonicity). So you should hit a variety of teaching styles not because different students react better to some of them but because it triggers their attention and motivation mechanisms. We also get taught that switching too much tires the students out, so we should pick some 3 types of activities and rotate between them, tending to reduce the traditional lecture style.

      Oh man, I could go on an in infinite rant about all this… but well, this is the recent theory.

  My brother had to do that for the military at one point. I don’t know what the point was because apparently nothing ever came of it they just did the tests got their results and then apparently everyone forgot about it, because everyone carried on getting trained in exactly the same manner anyway.

    Oh yeah it never was applied. I just remember one of my high school English (Language Arts) teachers talking about it.
