Improving Working Memory in Science Learning through Effective Multisensory Integration Approach
Kumar, S. Prasanna
Online Submission, International Journal of Mind, Brain & Cognition v9 n1-2 p83-93 Jan-Dec 2018
Sensory integration takes place in the central nervous system where complex interactions such as co-ordination, attention, arousal levels, autonomic functioning, emotions, memory and higher level cognitive functions are carried out. Sensory integration gets information through the senses, puts it together with prior knowledge, information and memories already stored in the brain to make a meaningful response. Multi-sensory learning, as the name implies, is the process of learning a new subject matter through the use of two or more senses. This may include combining visual, auditory, tactile or kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory sensation. By activating brain regions associated with touch, flavour, audition and vision, they indicate a direct relationship between perceptual knowledge and sensory brain mechanisms. The investigator developed content based working memory test and pre assessment of the working memory of the students. Then researcher has developed multisensory integration model and taught though this model of science subject and find out post assessment of working memory in science. Finally investigator evaluated multisensory integration model on enhancing working memory in Science among the students.
