This reminds me of a video about teaching the different styles of learning (not really backed up by science). The three options were visual learners, auditory learners , etc? It was basic snake oil stuff, someone made a video comparing the styles, and it showed people doing better when....all of the styles were combined into a multimedia presentation.
Um, ok? So do both.
It’s just hard to do a randomized controlled study that way.
So add a third arm, where they do both and compare. That would be a good study.
