Multisensory Learning

Foundational and Developmental Learning Concepts

Multisensory learning rests on the assumption that individuals learn better when they are taught using more than one sense, or modality, at once. The senses most often employed are visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile, sometimes summarized as VAKT for seeing, hearing, doing and touching, on the premise that engaging multiple sensory channels together produces a more effective learning experience than relying on a single sense.
