This, however, is a matter for further research. I have also noticed, from studies of teachers’ marking of typical grasshopper and inchworm answers, and from reactions to my own lectures on this topic, that teachers no less than pupils have a preferred cognitive style; and if this is not to have adverse consequences it is important that they should be aware of the fact. Other investigators have also distinguished different cognitive styles. The major work in this area has been carried out by Sharma (1989) who distinguishes between ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ thinkers (the ‘quantitative’ thinker being similar to the inchworm).

It seems reasonable to suppose that dyslexies, because of their memory limitations and problems of symbolic representation, would on the whole tend to be grasshoppers; and if this is so they would be seriously at risk in a group where the teacher and most of the pupils were inchworms. It is an obvious requirement that the teaching of mathematics to dyslexies should be multisensory (Steeves 1979). In addition, however, this teaching has to be applicable to a continuum of learning styles; and the differences in style need to be explicitly Individual diagnosis and cognitive style 33 acknowledged by the teacher.
