Looking again at learning styles

Education expert Frank Coffield considers the importance of learning styles to your study of psychology

As a psychology student, you will probably have heard that each one of us has a preferred learning style (i.e. the way we learn best). For example, do you learn psychology best by doing/experience (in which case you may be a kinaesthetic learner) or are you more of a thinker than a ‘doer’ (i.e. an abstract or conceptual learner)?

A summary of these main learning styles, together with examples of activities, is provided in Box 1. Learning styles can occur independently or in combination. They can also change over time, and usually become more integrated with age.
