    1. Memory is enhanced when con-cepts can be acted out by the learner

      Another takeaway from this chapter that piqued my interest was the discussion about how dramatic play and acting can be a good way of integrating knowledge. It says "Memory is enhanced when concepts can be acted out by the learner" (Harlan, Rivkin 12). This was interesting to me because one of the questions I get the most about acting is "How do you memorize all of those lines?" I could never really put it into a concise or logical way as to how I can do it, but reading about how acting out concepts can enhance memory makes total sense! In my case, the concept that is being acted out is the character I am playing, including their lines, emotions, and physical movements.
