Hi Dr. Jones, You make a number of very good points about the different learning pathways that students use to acquire new knowledge. In some previous research that I did with the University of London we found that there were 27 different combinations of learning styles that could be identified. Point is there is so much we don't know about how people learn that it is still a lot of fun to research how they do learn. I to am a big fan of the emotional intelligence aspect of learning. Integration of the different aspects of a person's social, emotional and intellectual abilities is critical to fully engage that person in the learning process. This also means the we educators are going to have employment for a very long time because there is so much more for us to learn. Gary
