    Education is the backbone for building one's future, and students learn in different styles that impact their cognitive skills. Learning styles can be categorized as visual, aural, verbal, and kinesthetic. Understanding one's learning style helps cognitive skills like memory and problem-solving develop, as it allows students to efficiently process information. When students are aware of their cognitive learning styles, they can fully comprehend topics and are more likely to retain information to further build their knowledge. Different learners have varying needs related to their learning goals, prior knowledge, styles, and cognitive abilities.

    Background of the Study

    Education has become the main backbone of every person in building up their

    future. Especially for the people who want to enter a more professional set up

    of work. Students approach studying in different ways that help them to cope

    up easily in their lessons and learn in the most effective way. Somehow,

    learning styles can vary in many types that have an important role on their

    cognitive skills. One can learn simply just by reading quietly using their eyes

    and mind for processing the information, others have to read aloud the lesson

    that they are studying to be able to remember it well.

    Learning styles according to Chick (2010) is widely used to describe how

    learners gather, sift through, interpret, organize, come to conclusions about,

    and “store” information for further use. As spelled out in VARK (one of the

    most popular learning styles inventories), these styles are often categorized by

    sensory approaches: visual, aural, verbal [reading/writing], and kinesthetic.

    Many of the models that don’t resemble the VARK’s sensory focus are

    reminiscent of Felder and Silverman’s Index of Learning Styles, with a

    continuum of descriptors for how learners process and organize information:

    active-reflective, sensing-intuitive, verbal-visual, and sequential-global (Chick,

    N. 2010).
    Learning styles have an important role in student learning because it helps

    them to efficiently understand the lessons. Its important role doesn’t end with

    this; learning styles is also important for our cognitive skills. According to

    Mulko (2022) Cognitive skills are a set of mental abilities related to the way our

    brain deals with the information about the world around us — including past

    experiences, what we perceive with our senses, our thoughts, and reasoning.

    Although the word “cognition” refers to the action or process of acquiring

    knowledge, cognitive functions can also be carried out by resorting to

    previously obtained knowledge. Examples of cognitive skills include short-term

    and long-term memory, language production and processing, problem-solving

    abilities, and making predictions based on pattern recognition (Mulko, M.

    2022).

    Through our learning styles we help our cognitive skills to develop and find

    their weaknesses by trying out their capacity to process information, develop a

    longer attention span on a certain topic, make a faster solution to a problem,

    and enhance their memory. According to Roberts (2014) Memory is highly

    impacted by learning style. Once a persons’ learning style is understood and

    accommodated for, memory will improve. When people understand their

    learning style, they can adapt how they learn to most efficiently use their

    brains, including and improving their memory capability.


    Rather than memorization, students who are aware of their cognitive learning

    styles are able to fully comprehend the information they have learned. They

    understand the reasons behind complex topics and are more likely to retain

    information to further build on that knowledge.. According to Graf et al. (2008)

    Learning styles that are reflective, intuitive, and sequential are preferred by

    students with high working memory capacity, whereas active, sensory, visual,

    and global learning styles are preferred by students with low working memory

    capacity.

    Other cognitive abilities include logic thinking, which facilitates the generation

    of ideas and problem-solving by examining, extrapolating, and comprehending

    the relevant data. Learners have different ways to acquire knowledge on any

    theme. Adaptive learning is one of the methods intended for the acquisition of

    knowledge in a dynamic way. Different learners have different needs; they

    differ, for example, in their learning goals, their prior knowledge, their learning

    styles, and their cognitive abilities.  (Balasubramanian and Anouncia 2018)
