The Impact of Sensory Stimulation on Learning from the Perspective of Applied Neuroscience in Early Childhood Education

Abstract

This research is primarily grounded in the neuroscience of learning and the impact of sensory stimulation on the cognitive, emotional, and attentional development of students in the early grades. In this regard, the paper examines the impact of sensory stimulation on learning processes in students, taking into account neurodiversity in the classroom. The purpose of this study is to interpret the impact of sensory stimulation on 4-year-old preschoolers, based on neuroscience, during the holistic development of young children in early childhood education to contribute to inclusive and relevant pedagogical practices. The study is qualitative in nature and descriptive in scope, taking into account the literature and the observation of teaching practices in a group of 17 preschool students. The findings indicate that the use of multisensory methods promotes attention, self-regulation, and active participation, taking into account the individual interests of the students. It is argued that the application of neuroscience in daily activities supports the strengthening of teaching and learning strategies, as well as the promotion of inclusive, active, and necessary practices for development in modern educational settings.
