The field of cognitive science-the study of how people learn-began with Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning research in the late 1800s. Carl Jung introduced the theory of psychological types. David Kolb described four types of learners and a four-phase learning cycle by developing the work of Jung, Kurt Lewin, and John Dewey. Educational theorist Malcolm Knowles became known as the "Father of Adult Learning" for his work on the concept of andragogy. Theorists and educators agree that no single method exists by which students learn best. A variety of teaching methods will yield the best result for students. Students are individuals with different learning styles that affect the way they receive and process information. It is important for professional education programs to acknowledge and accommodate multiple learning styles. A system catering to one type of learner can limit a profession by allowing only a small percentage of students who happen to excel best under the predominant learning method to enter the job market successfully.
