Until recently, ideas about how we learn have been mainly theoretical and intuitive. However, with ongoing advances in neuroscience, considerable progress is occurring. As a result, a paradigm shift is taking hold in human cognition, pointing to a new science-based understanding about the way we think and, ultimately, the way we learn.<\/p>\n<p>This paradigm shift \u2014 a move away from traditional notions of the mind to an \u201cembodied cognition\u201d model of human thinking and learning \u2014 is the subject of a new book \u201cMovement Matters: How Embodied Cognition Informs Teaching and Learning\u201d.
