Özet: Is it true that adults are less able than children to learn because their brain is less plastic? Yes, it is. However we can learn at every ages and science can help in the matter. Here is an example which shows what happens when we do not dare to bridge gaps between two domains: science and adult training. It is widely accepted that instruction should be tailored to the learners so called «learning styles». Learners might be divided into visual learners, verbal learners and doers, Trainers are supposed to provide instruction that emphasizes pictures, words or exercises. A recent review by researchers on this belief proved there is no evidence that validates the efficiency of managing learner styles. A thoughtful review of the data provides no support for style-based instruction. If there is no harm in using different learning styles, efficiency is not proved. Now, how can neuroscience findings on brain confirm or adjust our training prac- tices?
