EXAMPLE: In their conclusion to their review of cognitive styles and learning strategies, Riding and Rayner (1998) conclude that

“Much of the work on style to date has been exploratory in nature – mapping the ground. The next stage is now required to systematically investigate the aspects, nature, role, relationship to other constructs and practical applications of style. This should significantly advance the understanding of individual differences and indicate the extent of the practical improtance of style.” (Riding and Rayner, 1998: 190)
