Hi Marianne:
I think all students can train to get "tuned-in" to their senses if they want to improve study, class performance, and practical sills. This does take some training.

With practice, developing or enhancing a sense can be used to assist with memory, thinking, processing and tactile stimulation. For example, while reading for comprehension, a student can learn to feel the pages and texture of the textbook pages, enjoy the sound of the page turning, explore the the various images on a page (even down to the font and colors), smell the newness or scent of the text.

I know these are not the usual way we think of senses, but if a student can learn to asssociate pleasure with learning, they're likely to remember. I think there is a lot to this senses thing. And the more senses involved, the more the student will likey remember and store in the long-term memory banks.

Regards, Barry
