Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Touloumakos, Anna K.; Vlachou, Evangelia; Papadatou-Pastou, Marietta – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
The term learning styles (LS) describes the notion that individuals have a preferred modality of learning (i.e., vision, audition, or kinesthesis) and that matching instruction to this modality results in optimal learning. During the last decades, LS has received extensive criticism, yet they remain a virtual truism within education. One of the…

Sapey-Triomphe, Laurie-Anne; Sonié, Sandrine; Hénaff, Marie-Anne; Mattout, Jérémie; Schmitz, Christina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The learning-style theory of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (Qian, Lipkin, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 5:77, 2011) states that ASD individuals differ from neurotypics in the way they learn and store information about the environment and its structure. ASD would rather adopt a "lookup-table" strategy (LUT: memorizing each…

Huyck, Julia Jones; Wright, Beverly A. – Developmental Science, 2011
Adults can improve their performance on many perceptual tasks with training, but when does the response to training become mature? To investigate this question, we trained 11-year-olds, 14-year-olds and adults on a basic auditory task (temporal-interval discrimination) using a multiple-session training regimen known to be effective for adults. The…

Is Cognitive Style Bipolar?
Schroeder, David H. – 1989
This study assessed the bipolarity of cognitive style for 970 clients of the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation, a vocational guidance service. The 462 male and 508 female examinees were aged 14 to 65 years, with a median age of 24 years. Three cognitive style tests were investigated: (1) the Kagan Matching Familiar Figures Test (KMFFT); (2) the…

An Investigation of Eye Movement Patterns in Relation to Cognitive Mapping Style.
Lindeman, Mary L. – 1981
A study was conducted to determine the degree of relationship between eye movement patterns and cognitive mapping as determined by the Cognitive Style Mapping Instrument (CSMI). It was hypothesized that a high correlation exists between a predominance of visual and auditory eye movement patterns and the visual and auditory cognitive mapping styles…
