Recommendation
Here, Susan Hrach, author of Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning, offers accessible resources for instructors seeking to move beyond the idea of learning as an exclusively mental effort and toward creating embodied, sensory-rich learning experiences.
Cognitive science shows that learning involves more than the engagement of the human brain or head. Embodied learning (EL) changes the instructional focus from strictly abstract, mental processes to using the body as an affordance for learning.
