Here's another paper, "Learning Styles - Concepts and Evidence": http://psi.sagepub.com/content/9/3/105.abstract

I quote: "Although the literature on learning styles is enormous, very few studies have even used an experimental methodology capable of testing the validity of learning styles applied to education. Moreover, of those that did use an appropriate method, several found results that flatly contradict the popular meshing hypothesis. We conclude therefore, that at present, there is no adequate evidence base to justify incorporating learning-styles assessments into general educational practice."

Wikipedia has many links to more criticism of the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Criticism

For instance: Psychologists Scott Lilienfeld, Barry Beyerstein, and colleagues listed as one of the "50 great myths of popular psychology" the idea that "students learn best when teaching styles are matched to their learning styles", and they summarized some relevant reasons not to believe this "myth".
