This volume presents the most comprehensive, balanced, and up-to-date coverage of theory and research on cognitive, thinking, and learning styles, in a way that: * represents diverse theoretical perspectives; * includes solid empirical evidence testing the validity of these perspectives; and * shows the application of these perspectives to school situations, as well as situations involving other kinds of organizations. International representation is emphasized, with chapters from almost every major leader in the field of styles. Each chapter author has contributed serious theory and/or published empirical data--work that is primarily commercial or that implements the theories of others. The book's central premise is that cognitive, learning, and thinking styles are not abilities but rather preferences in the use of abilities. Traditionally, many psychologists and educators have believed that people's successes and failures are attributable mainly to individual differences in abilities. However, for the past few decades research on the roles of thinking, learning, and cognitive styles in performance within both academic and nonacademic settings has indicated that they account for individual differences in performance that go well beyond abilities. New theories better differentiate styles from abilities and make more contact with other psychological literatures; recent research, in many cases, is more careful and conclusive than are some of the older studies. Cognitive, learning, and thinking styles are of interest to educators because they predict academic performance in ways that go beyond abilities, and because taking styles into account can help teachers to improve both instruction and assessment and to show sensitivity to cultural and individual diversity among learners. They are also of interest in business, where instruments to assess styles are valuable in selecting and placing personnel. The state-of-the-art research and theory in this volume will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students in cognitive and educational psychology, managers, and others concerned with intellectual styles as applied in educational, industrial, and corporate settings.

The second edition of this highly successful book, Dyslexia and Learning Style builds on the latest research to extend its practical, evidence-based approach to learning style in the educational environment. Containing a response to the most recent critical insights into style theory and new suggestions for practical work for students within a range of educational contexts, this book remains essential for any teacher wishing to use awareness of style preferences to ensure that all students are helped to succeed. Recent government policy emphasises inclusive teaching for all and personalised learning. This means that all teachers need to consider how they can adapt the ways in which they teach to maximise success for all learners. The first section of this practical book provides an overview of the latest research into both dyslexia and learning style and how pupils should be helped to consider the ways in which they can take responsibility to make use of their style preferences to learn effectively. The second section provides ways in which style preferences can be established. It offers techniques to help students absorb, process and create responses to information across the curriculum. It suggests practical ways in which teachers can adapt material to make it accessible to a range of learners and provides activities to help students develop a more flexible approach to learning throughout their studies in school and higher education.
