Abstract: This study explores the learning styles of gifted and talented students in the United States and the People’s Republic of China. It attempts to show if and what differences exist between these students in terms of their learning styles and preferences. A specially prepared questionnaire was sent to 157 gifted Chinese students and to 315 gifted American students who were asked to report on their preferred learning styles. Pearson productmoment correlation was computed to examine the relationship between the students’ learning styles and age. A two-way analysis of variance was used to analyse nationality differences and gender differences among the students of the two countries. The results of analyses revealed a number of significant differences between these students regarding their learning styles and preferences.
