"Learning Styles Dont Exist" Youtube video

The argument that this psychologist presents concerning the lack of truth associated with a typically accepted theory of learning styles is convincing. However, it is undisputable that certain students may be able to retain different types of information more readily even if it is simply because the sense that assimilates the information is functioning more effectively than others. An example would be a student understands visual content more so than audio content simply becuase they can more readily recall visual items, possibly due to a more effective brain-to-eye connection or maybe becuase they have better vision compared to their hearing. Definently some pseudo science involved in this idea, but there are many aspects of the brain that are not understood. Hopefully, I will be priveliged enough to see some of the great mysteries of science uncovered and confirmed within my lifetime.
