Is There Evidence for Our Preferences Versus What Really Happens in Reality?

I get super intrigued by this idea of our preferences versus what actually happens in reality. I wonder whether a couple of things that they're really evidenc isn't the evidence for them working. So i think probably the most famous, and yet still to lots and lots of our colleagues most shocking, would be the idea of matching instruction to so called learning styles. And we are really all multimultimodal creatures, and that's probably the most obvious example of something that demonstrably doesn't work.
