Yes, that sounds very plausible, NicholasW. It would certainly fit with the established literature on kinaesthetic learning methodologies - the basis of which, through my limited interpretation, might be expressed as "the body is capable of encoding memories and experience by reference to physical status ie, not merely by abstracted mental gymnastics". Hence on a simple level I can go down my dog-leg staircase in the dark without any conscious thought of whether there are 9 or 10 or 7 steps to the turn, because the muscles of my body can "remember" the pattern of movements. My wife is currently doing some research in an allied area, applying these methods to test for difference of results amongst highschool pupils, to ascertain if certain 'learning styles' may be more advantageously employed for particular types of kids who may not prosper under traditional teaching regimes.
