People learn in different ways. David Kolb drew from the works of earlier scholars to develop his own theory about how people learn. His Experiential Learning Theory explains how a person observes and reflects on her concrete experiences and forms abstract ideas based on those observations. These abstract concepts then influence new experiences. The Accommodator learning style is one of four learning styles identified in the Experiential Learning Theory.
In their article Experiential Learning Theory: a Dynamic, Holistic Approach to Management Learning, Education, and Development, Alice and David Kolb describe the characteristics of four learning styles: Accommodator; Active; Multisensory; and Converger. The person who prefers to use the Accommodator style leans toward hands-on activities, relies on other people for information, uses his intuition, likes to start and complete projects, and isn't afraid to take risks. Accommodator learners like working with other people in groups. The Kolbs also suggest that people with this learning style often do well in sales and marketing careers.
