From the Paper:

"Arce Vazquez investigated learning styles among community college students in Puerto Rico among high risk, non-traditional students (Vazquez, 1985). Troubled students showed a preference for bright light, cool temperature, silence, formal seating arrangements, and studying in pairs, with an expert, or alone. Although these students were motivated, they also needed external motivation occasionally. They saw themselves as responsible, persistent and needing structure. These students professed to learn better by hearing and expressed a preference for kinesthetic experiences. They were most active in the early morning and in the evening."
