💾 Enhanced Memory Retention
The brain uses different channels to process information, which results in the creation of overlapping neural paths. Consequently, the information is stored in memory and can also be recalled by the brain more easily. The forgetting rates of the information processed through different channels are lower.
🎯 Improved Engagement
The use of different senses in the learning process creates the active participation of students which in turn results in the increase of students' motivation, the length of their attention span, and the level of their interest. The presence of both physical and mental activity at the same time helps learners to stay focused for a longer time.
🧩 Deeper Understanding
The teaching of concepts through different modalities helps students to understand the concepts in a way that goes beyond rote memorization. The learners make relationships, see patterns, and understand applications of the subject matter more deeply and meaningfully.
Accessibility for Diverse Learners
Teaching and learning methods that are different are on the same line with the learning styles and needs of students that include dyslexia, ADHD, and processing disorders. The methods provide several ways for students to reach content that is effective for them.
🔗 Stronger Neural Connections
Activating different regions of the brain at the same time makes the brain create strong connections between those different areas. Using different senses for the same object or experience develops one's ability to integrate different aspects cognitively, thus enhancing learning and brain connectivity.
📈 Better Academic Performance
The findings of the research are that there is a noticeable increase in test scores, reading, writing, and the subjects are mastered. Students that have undergone multisensory instruction have not only been subjected to measurable increases in reading, mathematics, and content area achievement but also in their overall academic performance.
🎓 Increased Transfer of Learning
The knowledge that is acquired via multisensory methods is easier to transfer to new places and real-life applications. The students are found to be more successful in applying the learned concepts not only across disciplines but also in practical situations.
