Moving, staying focused, regulating your emotions, and keeping your senses alert... These are all levers that help optimize the memorization process. But sometimes they need to be used in moderation!
According to the theory of embodied cognition, we store a memory in a network of sensory memories. Any subsequent sensory activation allows it to be reactivated in its entirety. Here, when an adult smells a lily, he immediately recalls the memory of the walks he took as a child among these flowers.
