By Harold Pasher, Mark McDaniel, Doug Rohrer, and Robert Bjork. Published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, vol 9 (3), Dec 2008, pp. 105-119. The authors looked at scientific evidence related to learning-style assessments in education. They concluded that evidence did not bear out the use of such assessments, but also point out that many versions of learning styles have not been tested at all (and thus there is no evidence).
