Previous research has indicated that there is a correlation between multi-sensory instruction and memory and learning in that students who exercise multiple senses during the learning process are better able to memorize and recall learned material on a short and long-term basis.
What are the benefits of multisensory learning?
All kids can benefit from multisensory lessons. If kids learn something using more than one sense, the information is more likely to stick. The result is better memory of the skill. But multisensory learning can be particularly helpful for kids who learn and think differently.
What is multisensory memory?
A single multisensory exposure influences memory for visual and auditory objects. Objects with a task-irrelevant stimulus in another sense were better remembered. Brain discriminates objects according to prior multisensory contexts within 100ms.
