The Benefits of Doodling (2 of 4)

Caption

Two typical (left hand side, top and bottom) and one less typical (right hand side) drawings created by university students given instructions to draw for their own understanding after reading the text, “Valves prevent the blood from moving backward or downward. These valves allow blood to flow in only one direction through the veins.” This image relates to an article that appeared in the Aug. 26, 2011, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Shaaron Ainsworth of the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, UK, and colleagues was titled, "Drawing to Learn in Science.”
