Description: The term Learning Styles is used to describe the idea that different individuals differ in the modality of instruction that is most effective to them. Criticism of the concept of LS has been widespread and in 2002 the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), through its Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI), pronounced LS a neuromyth. The OECD classification was particularly concerned with the three LS that are often seen in educational practice, namely the visual, auditory, or haptic (kinaesthetic) types. Here we report on a series of studies trying to debunk this neuromyth.
