Learning and Cognitive Styles in Web-Based Learning: Theory, Evidence, and Application  

David Cook.

Academic Medicine
March 2005, Vol. 80, Issue #3, pg. 266-278.

Review by: Linda Heun, Ph.D. <lheun@aacom.org>

The author reports on the literature in both health professions and non-medical education regarding aptitude-treatment interaction from the perspective of cognitive and learning styles. While people have been doing research in this area for decades, the author explores the application of this research base to web-based learning.

The author finds consistent support for adaptation to the wholist-analytic dimension, but only limited evidence for the active-reflective dimension.
