what does the acronym NLP stand for?

Wikipedia defines "NPL" (or neuro-linguistic programming*) as the representational systems (also known as sensory modalities and abbreviated to VAKOG or known as the 4-tuple) is a postulated model from neuro-linguistic programming regarding how the human mind supposedly processes and stores information. The central idea of this model is that experience is represented in the mind in sensorial terms, i.e. in terms of the putative five senses.

how are NLP and VAKOG related?  

 Many years ago ( friday, October the 14th of 2011*) Kevin R Smith posted a family-tree-like version of how NLP & VAKOG were related:

Summary:

The learning style debate 

One decent definition of the learning style debate was sourced from Melissa Venable; who stated "Learning styles have been defined as "the concept that individuals differ in regard to what mode of instruction or study is most effective for them." Similar terms used to describe learning techniques include: learning preference, learning strategy, cognitive strategy, and cognitive style."

However I did find a another perspective, stating "
Despite widespread acceptance and application of Learning Styles, there is nevertheless still some debate about the validity of the concept.  Proponents of Learning Styles maintain that adapting classroom teaching methods to suit students’ preferred style of learning improves the educative process.  However, opponents of Learning Styles theories maintain that there is little empirical evidence to support this proposition."
