And on a different note, the idea that free time is important in learning seems (to me) to be related to recent studies of embodied cognition. According to this recent article, our body understands abstract concepts physically... when we think about the past we lean back, when we are asked to recall a prior misdeed we are more likely to ask for an antiseptic cloth, and pantomiming mathematical movements helps us understand them. Of course we must be able to act upon newly imparted knowledge in order to fully process them. We literally store memory throughout our bodies, so in some ways our bodies are maps of our lives.
