I think there is a term for this in teaching: guided learning. It's
basic premise is that you have many modalities (sensory channels) of
learning, and that you will learn something more "deeply" (my word,
sorry for the clumsy paraphrase) if you learn it through *many*
modalities, especially through experience (motor). I even have a
diagram somewhere of the experiential learning cycle, I'll have to
get it out and dust it off to see if it might not be relevant to
*process* of transmission.
