A learning style is:
"A complexus of related characteristics in which the whole is greater
than its parts. Learning style is a gestalt combining internal and external
operations derived from the individual's neurobiology, personality and development,
and reflected in learner behaviour" (Keefe & Ferrell 1990, p. 16).

Riding & Cheema (1991), from an extensive review of the literature, conclude there are only two principal styles "families", the holist-analytic, and the verbaliser-imager. These two broad groupings relate to the type of cognitive activities normally ascribed to the two hemispheres of the brain. Curry (1983) suggests there are three different perspectives on styles: those relating to a preference for a particular instructional approach, those relating to the individual's intellectual approach to assimilating information independently of the environment, and those relating to the individual's intellectual approach to assimilating information with the environment.

Individuals do change in the way they learn…Similarly, developmental aspects relate to how we learn but, more predictable, follow a recognizable pattern.” (p. 136)
