<p>Dr. Newton suggests that learning styles may not be effective in college because many subjects require multiple streams of information, making it necessary for students to engage with various types of learning materials regardless of their preferred style.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Compensation for sensory deprivation occurs when an individual uses an alternative sense to enhance their abilities in response to a sensory loss. This process differs from the VAK learning style theory, which assumes that individuals naturally learn best through a specific sensory modality. Dr. Rousseau suggests that the VAK theory is not supported by the concept of sensory compensation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
