Learning Modalities & Research
Present studies show that although categorizing each person as a specific type of learner is easy, individuals’ memory efficiency is not limited by sensory modality, nor are people able to learn in the same way in all situations.
Instead, most people are likely multimodal and multi-situational learners, changing learning strategies depending on the context of the to-be-learned material.
Consequently, helping individuals learn effective memory strategies across all stimulus modalities and contexts, rather than only assessing learning type, may prove to be better for learning (Kra¨tzig, G.P., & Arbuthnott, K.D. ,2006).
