Hi Heather:
Certain professions are going to naturally lend themselves to enhanced use of the senses. Healthcare is one of them.
But I also believe all of our senses can be trained to tune in and contribute positively to the learning environment. One of the keys is to learn to stimulate or "wake up" a sense. Then, associating bthat stimulation with some type of enjoyment. Finally, merging enjoyment with study, engagement, or thinking cloes the loop.
So essentially every sense can be used to assist students learning and retaining needed information, and storing it in the long term memory portion of their brains.
