Learning Styles - GCSE Psychology Definition

Reviewed by: Raj Bonsor

Published

Learning styles refer to the different ways that people prefer to learn and take in information.

Some students might understand better when they see things in pictures or diagrams, while others might learn more effectively by listening to someone explain or discuss a topic. There are also students who learn best by doing hands-on activities. Understanding your own learning style can help you study more effectively and improve how you understand and remember new information.

In GCSE Psychology, learning styles are often discussed to help students recognise the most effective ways for them to study and absorb information.
