Now, science has debunked the myth of learning styles, showing that you actually learn best when you make use of multiple learning styles at once. Modern educators argue against the \u201clearning style\u201d theory while touting the benefits of engaging multiple senses in the learning process and embracing the aspects that cause you to struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may be true that people have distinct preferences about the way they learn, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/make-it-stick\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Make It Stick<\/em><\/a>, Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel show that learning isn\u2019t inhibited if the teaching style doesn\u2019t match the learning style. In fact, <strong>everyone learns best when the teaching style matches the <em>subject <\/em>of the lesson<\/strong>, such as using pictures to teach geometry or audio to teach a foreign language. Also, fixating on learning styles can limit your view of your potential, which can then affect your confidence to try new things, how much effort you put in, and your perseverance in the face of obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-multisensory-learning\">Multisensory Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your preferred learning style, you learn something even better if you see it <em>and<\/em> hear it. In<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/learning-how-to-learn\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Learning How to Learn<\/em><\/a>, Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski explain that connecting an idea to multiple sensory inputs creates more synaptic connections in your brain. This makes it easier to learn and remember because there are more neural pathways you can use to retrieve the idea. Therefore, the more senses you engage in learning something, the better you\u2019ll learn it. You can do this by listening to a book on audio while you read it, or by watching an instructional video on how to repair a faucet <em>while you do it<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learning-from-mistakes\">Learning From Mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may balk at attempting a particular learning style because you feel you struggle with it and end up making mistakes. Jo Boaler argues that that\u2019s exactly when the most powerful learning takes place. Brain scans prove that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/limitless-mind\/1-page-summary#the-science-of-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">students who spend time correcting their mistakes exhibit more mental activity<\/a> than students who get the right answers initially. Therefore, when you have to fight through a problem, you\u2019re creating more neural connections than you would have otherwise. <strong>Struggling to learn and making mistakes is what increases your mental capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Example: Jack and Sara\u2019s Early Struggles<\/strong><br><br>In her high school physics class, Sara\u2019s greatest challenge is translating word problems into mathematical expressions she can solve. She often makes algebraic mistakes that she has to work hard to correct. Meanwhile, her father Jack gets increasingly frustrated with the manual dexterity required to switch between musical chords on his guitar. He often puts his fingers on the wrong fret or takes too much time between chord transitions.<br><br>As frustrating as their struggles are, every time they correct their own errors, their brains form new neural connections. The mental pathways that represent the correct concepts and skills grow stronger over time with repetition so that eventually Jack and Sara both advance to the next level of difficulty, which will involve a whole new round of mistakes to learn from.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does everyone have a learning style that&#8217;s most effective for them?
