4MAT identifies four interrelated learning styles based
on a continuum of how we perceive and process new information.
Our individual learning style results from where
we naturally fall on these continuums. McCarthy has identified
these learning styles as Imaginative Learners (Type One
Learners);Analytic Learners (Type Two Learners); Common
Sense Learners (Type Three Learners); and Dynamic Learners
(Type Four Learners). The following is a brief description
of these learning styles from both learning and teaching perspectives.
