Cognition Daily?

I love to read Cognitive Daily. Lots of times, the posts are beyond the scope of this blog, but, then there's today's post, which discusses how body position can impact longterm memory [Link to full posting].

A new study adds an unexpected method to the list of ways to spur memories about our past: body position. That's right: just holding your body in the right position means you'll have faster, more accurate access to certain memories. If you stand as if holding a golf club, you're quicker to remember an event that happened while you were golfing than if you position your body in a non-golfing pose.

Bear with me now. Imagine the possibilities for our students! Can you envision planning not only the content for the activities in your next class, but also how you will pose your students? I sure can! What if, we tried to tie body position with memory anagrams for hard to remember facts such as the ones we must pound on in Anatomy classes or terminology exercises?
