Karen,
Yes, there are many ways to encourage students to use all of their senses in the learning process. More senses lead to better retention of information, and better student learning outcomes. Listening for tempo, emphasis, and cadence, watching what the instructor focuses on (body language and cues), enjoying a mint while reading (associating something pleasurable with study), and periodic deep breathing to refresh and reset the the brain for extended learning sessions. Some use of senses are simple, but all contribute to better results.
