A new study out of Boston University and UCLA and published in the journal Current Biology, confirms that learning is more efficient when multiple senses are involved.
The researchers (led by Aaron Seitz) found that stimuli involving both vision and hearing can be combined to produce speedier learning of visual information.
For example, after reading a couple pages of notes or text, turn away and try to summarize what you just read. Instead of doing it mentally, however, if you actually recall the info aloud- so that you’re also hearing it- you’ll be implementing the concept of multisensory learning.
