The styles depend on the cerebral dominance of an individual in retaining and processing different modes of information in his/her thinking styles. Each student has his/her specific thinking style. Thinking styles may differ from one student to another. Parents and teachers must be aware of the thinking styles of their children and students. They must provide the thinking experiences by considering the learners' thinking styles. Thinking styles are one of the factors that decide the learners' academic achievement.
