  Kinesthetic learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinesthetic learning is a teaching and learning style in which learning takes place by the student actually carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or merely watching a demonstration.
Pedagogical theorists such as Howard Gardner, however, assert that understanding of space and motion well is a distinct kind of intelligence in itself, useful in such various fields as engineering, database design, and athletics such as sport, martial arts or dance.
Some proponents of kinesthetic learning see it primarily as a way to increase association through repetition, but some proponents of "educational kinesthetics" such as Brain Gym asserts that certain physical motions increase the density of neurological networks within the brain itself, especially when practiced by growing children.

 Piano Technique & Kinesthetic Imagery
This article is a set of instructions for developing kinesthetic imagery at the piano.  Kinesthesia is the sensory effect of the muscular contractions used to maintain or change the spatial relationship of body parts.
Kinesthetic imagery is a fundamental component of technical competence at the piano (or any musical instrument).  The instructions for developing it are more involved than those for the lemon response.  But if you work through them, you will discover a powerful tool to enhance your learning.
The kinesthetic image of any passage is the imagined sensations of the hand shapes that correspond to its note blocks.  So, the kinesthetic image of a four-octave major scale is the imagined sensations of the hand shapes that correspond to its alternating three-key and four-key note blocks.

 Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic Learning Styles in Grappling
Kinesthetically oriented people want to get lots of hands-on experience so they can feel how something is done.
Kinesthetics simply refers to an awareness of changes in pressure, momentum, balance and body position in general.
Kinesthetic learning is not particularly difficult to understand but because so many people regard learning as something you do by reading books or listening to lectures, they often haven’t given a great deal of thought to physical movement as a means of study.

The second component, kinesthetic memory, enables the child to think in terms of movement by mentally reconstructing muscular effort, movement, and position in space.
The last component, kinesthetic awareness, is the kinesthetic sense proper, providing the child with on-line information on the extent, direction, and weight of movement.
The kinesthetic sense operates through proprioceptors in the body that relay information to the brain with regard to pressure, position, and stretch of muscles and tendons.

 Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
Gardner's thoughts on the kinesthetic intelligence do not take this direction, but the responses and memory of the body itself--the kinesthetic mapping, processing, and assimilation of experience--may prove to be a crucial factor in writing and reading.
The kinesthetic intelligence might be engaged in the writing classroom by closely describing an action, or by charcterizing a person through gesture, rhythm, and ways of moving.
A period of writing could be interrupted by a kinesthetic experience, followed by another period of writing and a discussion of any differences in the writings.

 multiple intelligences - howard gardners multiple intelligences theory - visual auditory kinesthetic learnings styles ...
The VAK multi-sensory approach to learning and teaching was originally concerned with the teaching of dyslexic children and other learners for whom conventional teaching methods were not effective.
The VAK theory is a favourite of the accelerated learning community, and continues to feature - although not nearly as strongly as it should do - in the teaching and education of young people.
Kinesthetic therefore describes a learning style which involves the stimulation of nerves in the body's muscles, joints and tendons.

 Kinesthetic Learning
A question that presents itself when we think about cultural differences in movement style and bodily experience is how these are transmitted from generation to generation.

 VKD
Visual Kinesthetic Disassociation (V/KD) (Bandler and Grinder, 1979; Field, 1990; Hossack and Bentall, 1996; Konefal, Duncan and Reese, 1992; Muss, 1992) is an exposure-based approach that helps individuals attain a degree of kinesthetic detachment from kinesthetic memories of trauma and thereby enables them to process the event(s) from a de-centered perspective.
According to Bandler and Grinder (1979), the aim is not for clients to re-experience the fear/trauma kinesthetically but to become distanced from the kinesthetic fear sensations as they associate the images of trauma with inner resources, such as feelings of power and competence.
In summary, this postulated view that the kinesthetic disassociation technique assists in modulating arousal upon exposure to trauma-related cues is premised on van der Kolk’s theory of traumatic memory processing.

 Technology That Enhances Kinesthetic Intelligence
This kinesthetic activity reinforces learning and makes the student an active participant in the learning process.
Other kinds of programs that combine kinesthetic activity with the development of analytical thinking are Broderbund's "Science Toolkit" and IBM's "Personal Science Lab." The student creates physical or scientific experiments, the results of which are analyzed and displayed on a computer screen.
Multi-media technology also involves much actual physical activity as information is gathered from databanks, books, and photos, as new information is generated by camcorders, and finally as all of it is pieced together electronically through hypermedia programs such as HyperCard or LinkWay.
