For example, in neurological studies, chimp brains fire differently when reading symbols (language) vs. viewing action that has meaning for them. The particular area is called "mirror neurons." Similarly, humans respond to meaning acted out (theatre?) differently than the written word and two different brain centres are involved. Thus, is theatre not coded meaning? Perhaps I'm splitting hairs, but pedagogical seems too perjorative.
