Abstract
While providing online courses that fit students' learning styles has high potential to make learning easier for students, it requires knowing students' learning styles first. This paper demonstrates how the consideration of cognitive traits such as working memory capacity (WMC) can help in detecting learning styles. Previous studies have identified a relationship between learning styles and cognitive traits. In this paper, the practical application of this relationship is described and its potential to improve the detection of learning styles by additionally including data from cognitive traits in the calculation process is discussed. An extended approach and architecture for identifying learning styles which consider cognitive traits is also introduced. Furthermore, an experiment has been conducted that shows the positive effect of considering WMC in the detection process of learning styles for two out of three learning style dimensions, leading to higher precision of the results and therefore more accurate identification of learning styles which in turn lead to more accurate adaptivity for students.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
