I think of cognitive style as the way in which a person perceives available 
information, which affects teaching and learning.

David Shapiro, in Neurotic Styles, gives an example something like this: 
suppose a conductor, a recording engineer, a music historian, a composer, 
and a flute player are all listening to the same recording of the 
Brandenburg Concerto #2. They may be hearing very different aspects of the 
performance. In the book, he goes on to describe how neurotic styles of 
information processing can lead people to experiencing very different 
realities.
