Peer reviewedLeiden, Lisa I.; And Others – Academic Medicine, 1990
Through analysis of 2 learning-style tests given to 79 medical students at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, it was concluded that learning inventory tests are not good predictors of academic performance. Better test instructions or published standardized norms would make these tests better predictors. (GLR)
