Glad to hear you were able to find a mechanism that clicked and stuck with it after that! The concept of learning styles for individuals though is a common myth

There isn't any evidence that individuals learn best to a single style and generally approaching learning from multiple facets is the best way for everyone to learn!

Thankyou, I'll be interested to understand more about what the latest thinking around this is.

I've always assumed some people are better suited to learning one way, while other another way. I've never been good at absorbing information or understanding (which I'd differentiate from knowing, rightly or wrongly) through reading, while I know many others who can easily do this.

I'm hoping some of these resources touch on that.
