People learn and develop in different ways and in different directions.
Learning is a complex neurological experience. As yet, we cannot detect why or how learning occurs or to what it can be attributed[1]but underlying, are theoretical concepts such as:
Origin
Diagnosing Individual Learning Styles
Development of the Learning Styles Model
Learning Style Models
