Main Content

This resource explores five common myths about learning and challenges them using research and evidence. It looks at learning styles, left-brain and right-brain thinking, the claim that people remember only 10% of what they read, the idea that 93% of communication is non-verbal, and the belief that learning must be formal to be effective. The resource encourages learners and educators to question broad claims, look for evidence and use more effective approaches to learning.
