Can Neuroscience Improve Education?

This should be translatable into a cognitive stroke protocol.

I'm only highlighting some of the more useful ones post-stroke.

The important point is that a series of experiments show learning is stronger when these larger circuits are utilized. The following are examples where a physical movement is added to purely mental processes and increases the brain circuit and the learning.

• Visualizing a future high jump, the jump improves 35%. If a hand motion is added to the visualizing it increases to 45%
• Two classes were taught arithmetic. The one where the teacher used hand gestures to explain learned it 50% better.
• Clenching the right hand while learning, increased learning in the left brain for memory of an event or action. Clenching the left hand increased learning in the right brain for later memory recollection.
• Chewing gum decreased reaction time for a variety of cognitive tests.
• Children taught mathematics using hand gestures learned better.
• Elderly with intractable pain, offered a wide range of therapy modalities at once, did better with more modalities regardless of which ones.
• If the learning or perception testing is done on an emphasized beat, the learning or perception is much greater than on the other beats, or without rhythm.
• Training of melodic singing is increased if using hand motions as well.
