Anthony F. Gregorc (b.1931) is an American educator and researcher, best known for developing the Mind Styles Model, which categorizes cognitive learning preferences. His work has influenced educational psychology, curriculum design, and instructional methods.
Gregorc earned his B.S. from Miami University and his M.S. and PhD from Kent State University. He has taught mathematics and biology, served as principal of a laboratory school for gifted youth, and held faculty positions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Connecticut.
His ‘Mind Styles Model’ defines four cognitive styles: Concrete Sequential, Abstract Sequential, Concrete Random, and Abstract Random, helping educators tailor instruction to different learning preferences.
Gregorc’s notable works include An Adult’s Guide to Style (1982,) introducing his cognitive framework, Mind Styles FAQs (1995,) addressing common learning style questions, and Inside Styles: Beyond the Basics (2003,) expanding on his research and applications.

Students are extraordinary teachers. They speak. They constantly tell us how our expectations, objectives, curriculums, and instructional strategies affect them. We need to look to our students to tell us why learning takes place
