  • What is possibly more insidious is that focusing on one sensory modality flies in the face of the brain's natural interconnectivity. VAK

  • the brain sees with its ears and touch, and hears with its eyes.
  • as primates, we are predominantly processors of visual information.
  • Eating does not engage just taste, but smell, tactile (inside the mouth), auditory and visual sensations
  • Learning a language, and the practice of it, requires the coordinated use of visual, auditory and kinaesthetic modalities, in addition to memory, emotion, will, thinking and imagination
  • There is indeed such a neural concourse, in the parieto-temporo-occipital ‘association’ cortex in each cerebral hemisphere
  • Fortunately, many teachers have not been taken in. Ironically, VAK has become, in the hands of practitioners, a recipe for a mixed-modality pedagogy where lessons have explicit presentations of material in V, A and K modes. Teachers quickly observed that their pupils' so-called learning styles were not stable, that the expressions of V-, A- and K-ness varied with the demands of the lessons, as they should
  • extrapolations from the lab to the classroom need to be made with considerable caution
  • The coloured blobs on brain maps representing areas of significant activation (so-called ‘lighting up’) are like the peaks of sub-oceanic mountains which rise above sea level

  • the images are the end-result of many years' work on understanding the quantum mechanics of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena, the development of the engineering of superconducting magnets, the application of inverse fast Fourier transforms to large data sets and the refinement of high-speed computing hardware and software to analyse large data sets across multiple parameters.
  • these neural contributions to intelligence are necessary for all school subjects, and all other aspects of cognition

    Two seemingly contradictory investigations. People with lower blood sugar fared better at memory tests, but is there a direct link between better memory and sugar, or is lower sugar levels indicative of greater dietary awareness, which may accompany better general awareness, including a metacognitive awareness propitious to all cognitive functions, including memory? Then a link to a report suggesting CHOCOLATE is good for the memory! WHat's the answer? Sugar-free chocolate?!

    Fascinating synthesis of research about musical memory with analogies with technology (tape recorders, etc). Embodied cognition, too, as auditory pathways seem to have been coopted from motor coordination. Musical recording = temporal event recorded in spacial way.
