The review reports this second-hand, citing Fleer (1989); the underlying studies' designs are not described here. Fleer used the findings to develop design principles for software specific to teaching Australian Aborigines.

"Fleer (1989), in her review of empirical research, found that Australian Aborigines exhibited strong abilities in processing spatial and visual information and preferred informal learning strategies such as learning through real-world performances, observations, and trial and error."
