    The document discusses how the brain processes information through multiple senses. It notes that while the five senses were traditionally viewed as independent, research now shows they interact and integrate in the brain. Using all senses together in learning leads to better recall and memory that lasts longer compared to unisensory learning environments. Specific studies found multisensory teaching was most effective for children struggling to read, and smelling rose scent during sleep improved memory recall by 10%.

    We Use all our Senses

    • The traditional belief among neuroscientists has


    been that the five senses operate largely as
    independent systems.
    •
    • However, mounting data suggest interactions
    between vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste
    are the rule, rather than the exception, when it
    comes to how the human brain processes
    sensory information and thus perceives things.

    Using all Our Senses to
    Learn
    • Those in multisensory
    environments
    always do better
    than those in
    unisensory
    environments
    •
    • They have more recall
    with better
    resolution that lasts
    longer, evident even
    20 years later.

    Using all Our Senses to

    • Studies from the National
    Institutes of Child Health
    and Human

    shown

    • For children with


    difficulties
    learning to read,
    a multisensory
    teaching method
    is the most
    effective
    Smell and Sleep
    • Smell can improve

    • Research using
    rose scent during
