One other interesting theory related to the learning process is Kolb's learning model, whereby learners need four different kinds of abilities: concrete experience abilities, reflective observation abilities, abstract conceptualizing abilities, and active experimentation abilities. Learners must be able to become fully involved in new experiences, must reflect on their experiences from many perspectives, create concepts that merge their observations into theories, and use these theories for problem-solving and decision-making (Merriam & Bierema, 2014). This experiential learning model links with four learning styles: diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating.
This website provides a great summary of Kolb's learning styles. I found the following image on the website as well: http://www.jcu.edu.au/wiledpack/modules/fsl/JCU_090344.html
I like this video on learning styles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUTLDG-fHFE
I think I have visual and kinesthetic style.
