چکیده
This paper presents the results of experiment conducted to investigate the correlation, if any, between the learning style and cognitive traits which include working memory capacity of technical learners. Further, the experiment aimed to investigate the correlation between the learning style and performance of technical learners in web-based quizzes based on their styles over different subjects for making the generalized semantic framework for adaptive online learning system. The results indicate that the learners having learning style of active, sensing, intuitive, visual and global have good working memory capacity. Further, the learners having learning style of active, sensing, intuitive, and global shown better performance during web-based quizzes.
