#EmbodiedCognition

Okay, this is a long and meandering post: Deconstructing “What’s Worth Doing?” But, I use (and made!) lots and LOTS of pictures—30 pictures!! 🤪 This is me looking at *HOW* a specific learning card deck encourages and supports better thinking. And other ways this could have been done.

I am glad to let you known the #CLEA research group is hosting another online meeting on the foundations of #cognitivescience!

This time we will discuss the relation between the concept of #mentalrepresentation and #situatedness in #cognition and #embodiedcognition through the work of Gualtiero Piccinini (main speaker) and Marco Facchin (commentator).

To know more and register, please check:

Hope to see you there!

Exciting new open access paper in ijcscl by led by Xintian Tu! We explore how gesture and embodiment are powerful communicative tools in a MR environment, and how some of these key embodiments carry over into interview contexts! link.springer.com/article/10.1 @learningsciences #LearningSciences #EmbodiedCognition #MixedReality

SpringerLinkUnderstanding young children’s science learning through embodied communication within an MR environment - International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative LearningWhile there is increased interest in using movement and embodiment to support learning due to the rise in theories of embodied cognition and learning, additional work needs to be done to explore how we can make sense of students collectively developing their understanding within a mixed-reality environment. In this paper, we explore embodied communication’s individual and collective functions as a way of seeing students’ learning through embodiment. We analyze data from a mixed-reality (MR) environment: Science through Technology Enhanced Play (STEP) (Danish et al., International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning 15:49–87, 2020), using descriptive statistics and interaction analysis to explore the role of gesture and movement in student classroom activities and their pre-and post-interviews. The results reveal that students appear to develop gestures for representing challenging concepts within the classroom and then use these gestures to help clarify their understanding within the interview context. We further explore how students collectively develop these gestures in the classroom, with a focus on their communicative acts, then provide a list of individual and collective functions that are supported by student gestures and embodiment within the STEP MR environment, and discuss the functions of each act. Finally, we illustrate the value of attending to these gestures for educators and designers interested in supporting embodied learning.

Recent server move means I have no post plugging my main project, so here it is!

Red Enlightenment: On #Socialism #Science and #Spirituality is 1) a book coming out in 2023 and 2) a scripted podcast which was the book's rough first draft soundcloud.com/repeater-radio/

If the mind isnt just bound to the brain, but extends through tools we're familiar with — hammers, calculators, cars being felt as extensions of the body — then smartphones and social media platforms could be seen likewise as part of our extended mind.

Losing part of your mind might feel uncomfortable. Growing a new part might feel unusual too. But both could also feel liberating.

I think I'm feeling a bit of all of these at the moment

Hi folks!

I make #electronics and write code and help people solve interesting problems. I wrote a book on #LEGO and Arduino projects. I made a lot of open source hardware electronics kits (see Wayne and Layne), worked with Dessa, and am currently nerding out over #ActiveInference, #EmbodiedCognition, and #CognitiveNeuroscience. I write a bunch of code over at Beeminder, helping folks achieve their goals.

I love to #dance, read, and spend time with my wife and my two kids.
