Explanation

Kolb's styles pair as accommodators with hands-on learning, converger with hands-on learning and theory, diverger with real-life experience and discussion, and assimilator with theories and facts.

Accommodators combine concrete experience and active experimentation, so they learn best by hands-on doing.

The converger unites abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation, applying theory through hands-on problem solving.

The diverger blends concrete experience and reflective observation, thriving on real-life experience and discussion.

The assimilator joins abstract conceptualisation and reflective observation, preferring theories and facts in concise logical form.

These styles arise from Kolb's four-stage experiential cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation.
