Emotion and Movement

The interplay between physical movement and cognitive development is crucial for effective learning, with significant differences between boys and girls in their movement needs. Emotions play a pivotal role by acting as gatekeepers to learning; they influence attention, memory retention, and problem-solving capabilities.

Emotion and Movement

All students require movement but the amount differs between boys and girls.

Males and females process emotions differently

Aerobic exercise = faster cognitive processing speeds = better attention = better learning

Movement

Aerobic exercise kickstarts chemicals that help wire learning into long term memory.
Mimicry, one of the most 'powerful avenues of learning' is movement based
"Our physical movements can directly influence our ability to learn, think, and remember..." Movement therefore is crucial to brain function
Half the brain is devoted to organizing physical and mental action. Our brain expects us to use what we understand, which strenghtens the connection between movement and learning.
Brain growth and movement are inherently linked. They work together cooperatively.

Using instructional strategies that tap the power of emotion enables students to engage more systems in the brain making learning more powerful and meaningful

Emotions carry information
Reflective thinking and long term learning do not occur during times of real or perceived threat.
Emotions are the gatekeeprs to learning by filtering input into long term memory storage.
"Emotion drives attention which drives learning, memory, problem solving..."
