"People like to think that they have a special learning style, and some may even have learning preferences, but catering to those preferences does not show any learning benefits." Still. If you teach the same content the same way to different people, you get different outcomes (otherwise there would be no need for tests). So something varies from student to student. And if you're not getting any learning benefits by catering to that, then maybe it's your method, not the theory, that's at fault.
