Learning Styles based on Riding

This is a new way of looking at learning styles that i havent encountered before. I thought it was rather interesting as it was quite different and much simpler than Gardners Multiple Intelligences. I believe it is based on a person called Ridings work.



Some basic views on learning styles are:



Some people will prefer to have information presented to them as a whole while others will want the details



Some people will prefer to have information presented in text or speech while others would want pictures



Some people prefer to learn by doing while others would wish to think about the information before acting



Some people prefer to understand the theory before acting while others would prefer to act



These are very simple descriptions of learning styles and in practice people have a mixture of them with some characteristics being more pronounced than others.
