Sensory perceptions
According to the researchers, it is easier to learn vocabulary if the brain can link a given word with different sensory perceptions.
(…)
The brain learns foreign words more easily when they are associated with information from different sensory organs.
(…)
Taste and smell also have a role in learning, and feelings play an important part too. But does multisensory learning work according to the principle: the more senses, the better? That could well be so.
