Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Learning Styles

I have been told that my DS6 is a "block learner" meaning that when something catches his interest his entire focus becomes learning everything he can as quickly as he can. Once he's satisfied that he knows everything he needs to, he moves on to another subject. It's a really interesting thing to watch especially because he seems to learn the basic concepts and the advanced concepts and kind of skips everythiing in the middle.
I'm curious about learning styles with these kids and if my DS is fairly usual or if he's unusual in this as well.
