Subclaims¶

q2 i? Despite an enormous literature, the review found almost no studies meeting the methodological criteria needed to validate learning-styles-based instruction. → Pashler 2009

q2 · i? · review · r3

Systematic literature search conducted by the review team for studies providing a style-by-method crossover interaction of the form shown in Figures 1A–1C. The search "found only one study that could be described as even potentially meeting the criteria," and the authors judged even that study's evidence tenuous.

"Remarkably, despite the vast size of the literature on learning styles and classroom instruction, we found only one study that could be described as even potentially meeting the criteria described earlier"
