There’s just one problem: The concept of individual learning styles – applied universally to the general student population, beyond learners with special needs – appears to be a myth.

Three learning styles Visual - learning by seeing. Auditory - learning by listening. Kinaesthetic - learning by doing.

The idea of learning styles has been around for more than 50 years. In 1975, German biochemist Frederic Vester introduced the concept in his popular science book Thinking, Learning, Forgetting.
