Examines relationship between Connected and Separate Knowing dimensions of Knowledge Styles Inventory (K. Knight and others, 1994) and learning modes of A. Kolb (1984), formal operational reasoning (B. Inhelder and J. Piaget, 1958, 1975; G. Tobin and W. Capie, 1981), and vocabulary and abstract thinking abilities (W. Shipley, 1940). Findings…

Discusses the findings of multicultural research using the Learning Style Inventory and the Productivity Environmental Preference Survey. Differences in learning style among students and young adults of differing ethnic groups, between male and female students, between high achievers and underachievers, and between the gifted and nongifted are…

Describes a study that was conducted to identify predictors of high-risk students enrolled in telecourses at a community college. The use of Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale (RIELC) and Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) are explained, hypotheses tested are discussed, and demographic variables are examined. (seven references)…
