The idea that we have innate learning styles, such as being a 'visual' or 'auditory' learner, is a myth; these are merely personal preferences with no real biological basis.

This assertion is widely supported by research in cognitive neuroscience and educational psychology. Major studies, notably a systematic review published in 'Anatomical Sciences Education' (Pashler et al.), demonstrate that there is no empirical evidence validating the hypothesis that tailoring instruction to a supposed style improves retention. The human brain is designed to process information multimodally, often combining images and sounds for optimal learning. While some individuals may report a preference, this does not translate into better cognitive efficiency when content is presented to them solely in that form. The concept of 'learning styles' is considered by a vast majority of researchers to be a persistent neuromyth. It is more useful to focus on the nature of the material to be learned rather than on a rigid classification of one's own functioning.
