I don't experience the world the way you do. This isn't some theory about learning styles, but rather, the result of research on perception and hallucination. This short article doesn't really capture the content of the video it references very well, but it's certainly worth the 6 minutes it will take to watch. As it concludes, "As we learn more, we'll likely come to appreciate just how subjective and individual each person's island universe of perception really is." Why is this important? Well, if e learn from experience, and everyone's experience is different, then everyone learns differently. And while learning styles literature may represent a mostly failed attempt to categorize the different ways we learn, the learning styles sceptic's conclusion, that we all learn the same way, simply doesn't follow.
