Seriously, though, these concepts work well in houses of worship as well. It's a great alternative to typical preaching.

I know as a speaker/trainer that adding the different learning modalities together in your presentation will compound your audience's ability to retain what you've taught them. The origin of these principles go back farther than Glasser's work. Confucius said, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." I try to remember these words each time I stand and speak. Cheers, Paul Great article.

I taught large classes in uni and broke my lectures into five parts: what we did last time and what we are going to do/homework, section one, CHANGE UP (something fun, change of pace), secton two, sum up. I've also been experimenting with the narrative form. The audience is the protatgonist/hero. We are off on an adventure against the antagonist who will harm the bystanders if we don't act. So off we go with a goal in mind, we encounter obstacles and we triumph. Somewhere on the web is a format for turning this into a lecture (the hero's journey). TED lectures are also great to watch. Gen i want it fast and furious. Good stuff.

With something as subjective as learning, I think it would be hard to prove anything precisely.

I did some research on this a few years ago trying to track down the research for a citation, and it can not be found. Many quote it, but it is not a proven finding and a very broad generalization.
