What is a learning style?

A learning style is the unique way each person learns most effectively.

People have different patterns of variation in how they learn, what they learn most easily, and how they prefer to learn. Learning styles have been identified by those who observe and study the process of human learning. Researchers have been able to identify some patterns in this range of variation.
