 Mentioned **stages follow one after another** forming a circle as they were introduced above, yet the process of **learning can begin in any of them**. Still, every learner develops strengths in some of mentioned stages more than in others and learn better in those conditions, what results in four **learning styles** identified also by Kolb: Mentioned **stages follow one after another** forming a circle as they were introduced above, yet the process of **learning can begin in any of them**. Still, every learner develops strengths in some of mentioned stages more than in others and learn better in those conditions, what results in four **learning styles** identified also by Kolb:
  
-    * Assimilator ​(prefers ​**abstract conceptualizations** and theoretical models) +    * Assimilator ​- Prefers ​**abstract conceptualizations** and theoretical models, requires time to think through. Values **logical validity** more than practical applications. ​ 
-    * Converger ​(prefers ​**practical applications** of concepts and theories he learns)+    * Converger ​- Prefers ​**practical applications** of concepts and theories he learns ​and like experimenting. They are often good problem solvers and like dealing with technical issues. ​
