 All of these components together form a circle of learning in which they follow one after another: CE->​RO->​AC->​AE->​CE->​... The very process of **learning can begin in any of them**. Still, every learner develops strengths in some of mentioned modes more than in others and learn better under those conditions, which results in four different **learning styles** identified also by Kolb: All of these components together form a circle of learning in which they follow one after another: CE->​RO->​AC->​AE->​CE->​... The very process of **learning can begin in any of them**. Still, every learner develops strengths in some of mentioned modes more than in others and learn better under those conditions, which results in four different **learning styles** identified also by Kolb:
  
-    * **Assimilator** - Strong in AC and RO components. Prefers **abstract conceptualizations** and theoretical models, requires time to think through. Values **logical validity** more than practical applications. ​+    * **Assimilator** - Strong in and RO components.
