| Sumario: | This study showed how different learning styles are related to objective-type tests used in obtaining undergraduate Educational Psychology course grades. The subjects were 105 university students who responded to four tests which were averaged and used as course grades. The best predictors of the course grade were the students' ages and two Inventory of Learning Processes (ILP) scales scores: Deep Processing and Fact Retention. The Deep Processing scale measures high-order type of items which include analyses, evaluations, and comparisons of information; whereas, the Fact Retention scale measures low-order type of items which include factual information and memory recall. The oldest age group (compared to the two younger age groups) used more skills suggested in study manuals and received higher course grades.
