Obedience, rote memorisation, and neatness are enshrined as somehow intellectual achievements. |
Admissions are based solely on the points scored in one exam, and the need for rote memorisation does little to foster creative minds. |
But they certainly serve to enliven what a more leaden pen would turn into a schoolroom exercise of memorisation and lexicography. |
Noise also hampers communication, memorisation and work, except where routine tasks are concerned. |
This concerns pathologies for language acquisition, memorisation, sound reception, attention and visual empathy, repetitive movements, etc. |
But for Mr Savall memorisation is the same as playing on autopilot, and stifles a necessary element of unpredictability. |
