Impact of Learning Styles on Air Force Technical Training: Relationships among Cognitive Style Factors and Perceptual Types.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate simultaneously the four cognitive styles, field dependence-independence, reflectivity-impulsivity, leveling-sharpening, and visual-haptics. Results indicated that although the constructs overlapped somewhat, each cognitive style has enough unique characteristics that each must be considered individually. When using cognitive styles as a variable in future research with Air Force technical training, perhaps requirements of specific tasks involved in the training will dictate which cognitive style discussed in this preliminary investigation holds the most promise.
