That is highly debatable! It has been demonstrated again and again that hands on enhances training. This is why people taking science class have labs and why machinist spend time with machines in their training. Frankly would you let a plumber into your house if his only training was in the class room? Im fairly certain that the vast majority learn best with hands on education.
This is my career field.
What you learned (as far as type of learner) is wrong.
There is no data to support that learning theory. Since the 1990's, and entire generation of education doctoral candidates have crashed and burned trying to prove it.
Again, there is no data to support it.
