Many studies have been done to investigate whether people learn better when the teaching method match a specific learning style. What have these studies found?

A) All individuals are either visual or kinesthetic learners.
B) All individuals learn best when the teaching method is kinetic/tactile.
C) The studies failed to find evidence that individuals have specific learning styles.
D) The studies found evidence for at least four distinct learning styles.

Answer: C
Rationale: The idea that each individual has his or her own learning style might make intuitive sense, but finding evidence to support it has proved difficult. In fact, dozens of studies have failed to show any benefit for studying according to an individual's learning style; this is true even in large-scale reviews analyzing results of dozens of studies.
