• Know thyself: Coaching for leadership using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (2011, neutral): “Pashler et al. (2008) argued that the data reviewed for their study did not provide support for the learning styles hypothesis that tailoring teaching to the learner’s proclivities would make a difference.”
• How Common Is Belief in the Learning Styles Neuromyth, and Does It Matter? A Pragmatic Systematic Review (2020, background): “In the mid-2000s two substantial reviews of the literature concluded that there was currently no evidence to support the idea that the matching of instructional methods to the supposed Learning Styles of individual students improved their learning (Coffield et al., 2004; Pashler et al., 2008).”
