I'm not sure what this means though: ...that integrate sensation emotionally, not intellectually.

I was wondering if anybody would pay attention. :-)

When we integrate, we bring a thing into a sum total, in this case a sensory experience that is firist compared, described, and realized. If emotion is activated (particularly fear), the next step is a "re-action" what worked in the past as similar to the present. The benefit is there is no analysis paralysis. The risk is in potential inacurracy in the attribution of what is experienced to how it might>/i> be a threat.

When one teaches a child through emotion, EVERYTHING generates said automatic reaction and more and more of what is experienced is lumped into the fear threat. Of course, as opposed to fear it could be sexual attraction. They both work the same way, but the outcomes are rather different.

The transition in education started with Wilhelm Wundt, as I said, who is considered the father of psychology. It was he who directed Prussian education (which later became the model for the US) to use emotional motivation to organize facts (think "Climate Change" for example). It is what opened the way for propagandists like Bernays, Creel, and later Goebbels to use mass media to enthrall a nation into a suicidal rage we now call NAZIism.

Allow me to suggest a book: The Leipzig Connection: The Systematic Destruction of American Education, by Paolo Lionni. If you still have questions after that, I'll delve a bit into the physiology of it for you.
