Impact of Learning Styles on Air Force Technical Training: Multiple and Linear Imagery in the Presentation of a Comparative Visual Location Task to Visual and Haptic Subjects.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop instruction based on the supplantation theory, in which tasks are performed (supplanted) for individuals that are unable to perform them due to their cognitive style. Results of this study indicate that in the particular learning situation in this investigation, the haptic cognitive style individual's performance was improved by instruction based on the supplantation theory. The results of this preliminary investigation seem to hold promise for instructional research with Air Force technical training personnel. (Author)
