Explain the difference between cognitive styles and learning styles?

Answer 1

It might seem that Cognitive Styles are the way in which we comprehend or understand a problem or situation. While Learning Styles are the way that we learn, or process information.

"Cognitive style or "thinking style" is a term used in cognitive psychology to describe the way individuals think, perceive and remember information, or their preferred approach to using such information to solve problems." Wikipedia

Learning Styles is a term that is virtually synonymous to this but is used much more widely, most often in the fields of education and training. Whereas cognitive psychology tries to describe differences in styles of thinking in an objective way in order to produce psychological definitions and data, those who would likely choose to speak of learning styles instead of thinking styles or cognitive styles would probably be more interested in the practical implications of style differences.
In the stile antico, the text followed the music, whereas in the stile moderno, music followed the text.
