The Neurological Learning Process of Learning the
Spoon Dance


The knowledge of the rhythmic structure is stored in the semantic memory, which means that the rhythm is actually a two-four beat and the beats are divided up as follows:

–   the first eighth of the first fourth (with the right hand),
–  the second eighth or first sixteenth of the second eighth (right hand),
–  the second sixteenth of the second eighth of the first fourth (left hand),
–  the first eighth of the second fourth (right hand), and
–  the second eighth of the second fourth (left hand)

whereby episodic memory falls back on the first lesson or the most distinctive exercises, for example, to reinforce the process. Both of these procedures are recorded in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a small brain structure that sits deep in the temporal lobe on both sides. Everything that is important to remember goes there and is stored for a certain time. Because it is too small, the new information cannot remain in the hippocampus (as a medium-term storage) and is transferred during sleep to the cerebral cortex. Through physical training, the dance is filed in the procedural memory and in the priming memory it is linked with the music and other specific sense impressions.
