I wonder if we aren't missing something by limiting our definition of learning styles to sensory modalities. It's not only the intake mechanism that is involved, but the mental organizing of material. Some of us, for instance, tend to prefer to think inductively - from specific instances to a general rule. Examples and anecdotal strategies work well with these thinkers. Others think better when you give them a general rule and let them work out specific instances. Guidelines and principles often work better with these.
