Oakland, Thomas; Joyce, Diana; Horton, Connie; Glutting, Joseph

Gifted Child Quarterly, v44 n3 p183-89 Sum 2000

Learning style preferences of 1,554 students (ages 8-17) identified as gifted and nongifted were measured. Gifted students displayed a stronger preference for imaginative styles, while nongifted children displayed a stronger preference for practical styles. Compared with gifted boys, gifted girls were more likely to prefer imaginative styles. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
