Lecture 6 focuses in three important aspects - cognitive styles’ alignment with occupations, risk-bearing situations in interaction, and individualized learning. First, we will learn that certain occupations are closely related to certain cognitive styles, for example engineers with analytical thinking. Second, you will learn how people with different cognitive styles learn in different ways. Therefore, teachers should have various teaching methods to deliver the information to different types of learners.

Third, the lecture emphasizes interaction and ways to improve it. This issue is dealt with the example of risk-bearing situation. This can take place when people with opposite cognitive styles communicate.
