Learning style, judgements of learning, and learning of verbal and visual information
We checked this card's citation and the finding we state against the source's own page or record in October 2026.
What it found
People who said they preferred words felt they had learned word pairs better, and people who preferred pictures felt they had learned picture pairs better, but their style scores had no relationship with what they actually recalled. Learning style was tied to how learning felt, not to how much was learned.
What kind of study it is
- Design
- Lab experiment
- Weight
- A lab or small classroom experiment: rigorous, but too small or too short to count as a school trial.
- Sample
- Participants who studied word pairs and picture pairs after a verbal-visual style questionnaire
