Schools are institutions responsible for teaching children new skills and knowledge, the ability to think about future targets, and, when problems become complex, how to apply explorative thinking and inborn creativity to solve them. Even so, scholars point to the fact that school curriculums do not support ways to facilitate explorative learning or creativity for problem-solving. To successfully devise solutions never considered before, children need support with programs enabling them to facilitate openness for experience intellectually. This study suggests that dance activities should become regular in the curriculum as a strategy for maintaining schoolchildren’s cognitive flexibility.

学校是负责向儿童传授新技能和知识，思考未来目标的能力以及在问题变得复杂时如何运用探索性思维和与生俱来的创造力解决问题的机构。即便如此，学者们指出一个事实，即学校课程表不支持促进探索性学习或解决问题的创造力的方法。为了成功设计出从未考虑过的解决方案，孩子们需要程序支持，使他们能够促进开放性的智力体验。这项研究表明，舞蹈活动应成为课程中的常规活动，以此作为保持学童认知灵活性的一种策略。
