Hanson, Robert J., Silver, Harvey, & Richard W. Strong. Learning Styles & Strategies. Princeton Junction, NJ: The Thoughtful Education Press, 1995.

Based on the Jungian Theory of Personality Types, the authors have developed strategies for the successful instruction of learners of different ages; ways of learning; by teachers who are also of different types and, therefore, interact differently with the diversity of their students. This manual will help teachers and students determine into what learning/teaching category they will fit.

Presseisen, Barbara Z.,et al. Learning and Thinking Styles: Classroom Interaction. Washington, DC: National Education Association of the United States and Research for Better Schools, 1990.

The authors and their contributions are:

Important Questions (Barbara Z. Presseisen)
Intellectual Styles: Theory and Classroom Implications (Robert J. Sternberg)
Cognitive Development in Real Children: Levels and Variations (Kurt W. Fischer and Catharine C. Knight)
The Theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (Reuven Feuerstein)
Some Possible Answers: Implications for Schooling and Practice (Barbara Z. Presseisen).

The questions as directed at educators are: What is schooling for? How do students learn? What is intelligence? What makes students intelligent? Can students' abilities be changed? What are the important roles for teachers and educators in a different school? - The answers suggested here are directed at researchers in the field of human learning and development for further studies.

Also based on the teaching of Carl Gustav Jung, this earlier work of the same authors (see also: Hanson et al: Learning Styles and Strategies, 1995) attempts to answer 'Why people question?', 'What are questions?', 'Where do they come from?', 'How do we stimulate thinking?' and 'What questioning strategies should we use depending on the answers we expect to elucidate?"
