@DavidDidau @EvidenceTeach Yes. Take gesture. More than simply being there, a body, when moving in certain situations, can enhance cognition. Barbara Tversky explains (Mind In Motion) the studies of gesturing & non-gesturing groups & their contrasting successes in learning.

@AlexJQuigley I was thoroughly gripped by Alberto Manguel's A History of Reading.

@memneon @stephenheppell Yes. It's what Nancy Duarte (Slide:ology) — or was it Garr Reynolds (Presentation Zen) — calls a 'slideument'.

In Calder's book, Raw Concrete, I caught a page on my father's architectural teacher at the École des Beaux-Arts: Auguste Perret. He had also taught Ernö Goldfinger (yes, look up the Ian Fleming link) and Le Corbusier. https://t.co/p0dBlCS63D

Came across Alan E Cober's The Forgotten Society a few years ago. He produced a series of drawings (visual documentary with handwritten text) of (verbatim) "old people, the criminal, the mentally retarded" in the early 1970s. People "we prefer not to think about". https://t.co/v9iLkY9mlZ

@rodjnaquin Was it not Kant who said that the development of schema can only come about by 'imagination'? Mark Johnson (of Lakoff & Johnson fame) wrote about it his philosophical The Body in the Mind.

@ryandal @DonaldClark @DrRLofthouse If you'd witnessed or experienced gritty-get-beneath-the-polite-stories approach to coaching, you'll see how coaching in jobs can often resort to what Fernando Flores (originator of ontological coaching) calls "cordial hypocrisy".

@kairosbutterfly Sangharakshita's The Religion of Art (https://t.co/xAm8uOZNtY) is well worth reading regarding the overlap of the two spheres.

@Bottoms_bray @Gwenelope Yes, the same as in Florence Nighingale's time, trying to get doctors to wash their hands. Atul Gawande (The Checklist Manifesto) describes how this battle with doctors too so long to be won (1950s in USA).

I'm only on p.72 of Jeff Hawkins' brilliant A Thousand Brains but already it seems that Barbara Tversky's proposition that thinking about ideas involves treating them 'as if they are objects', is validated by research on the structure of the neocortex.
