Definition

  • Cognitive styles have been described by some researchers as rather consistent differences between individuals in the way they organize and process information and life experiences. They represent stable attitudes, individual preferences, and/or habitual strategies that determine a person's “typical” mode of seeing, remembering, thinking, and solving problems.
