However, this however, depends on the ability of the individuals’ adaptability to either learning styles. For learners such in health sciences, engineering and complex disciplines, there is need to identify the most appropriate style. In addition, for the kids and new learners, there is need to be able to apply the most suitable style to deliver the information for easier processing.
