Learning styles You may have noticed that you prefer to learn in a different way from those around you. 'Learning styles' are the different ways in which people may learn, the ways in which they prefer to process and organise information. There are a number of learning styles, yet it must be emphasised that there is not a hierarchy of learning styles and it is in your interest to realise which style you prefer, as this will enable you to make the most effective use of your revision time.
