About this listen

Despite a lack of scientific evidence, the concept of learning styles — the idea that individuals learn best through a particular format like visual, auditory or kinesthetic — continues to be one of the most persistent myths in corporate training.

In this episode of The Business of Learning, we sat down with Tom Whelan, Ph.D., director of corporate research at Training Industry, to learn more about the learning styles myth — and what the research actually says about how we learn.

Tune in now to hear the conversation, where we discuss:

  • Why the learning styles myth has persisted over time, despite a lack of research.
  • Training Industry’s research on learner preferences — and why a multimodal approach is key.
  • How to adapt your programs if you’ve traditionally designed training around learning styles.
