From action to abstraction: using the hands to learn math.
Previous research has shown that children benefit from gesturing during math instruction. We asked whether gesturing promotes learning because it is itself a physical action, or because it uses physical action to represent abstract ideas. To address this question, we taught third-grade children a strategy for solving mathematical-equivalence problems that was instantiated in one of three ways: ...
متن کاملMonotonic Abstraction in Action
We consider verification of safety properties for parameterized distributed protocols. Such a protocol consists of an arbitrary number of (infinite-state) processes that communicate asynchronously over FIFO channels. The aim is to perform parameterized verification, i.e., showing correctness regardless of the number of processes inside the system. We consider two non-trivial case studies: the d...
متن کاملFrom Abstraction to Realization
Prototypes One of the truly powerful tools in usage-centered design is the abstract prototype [Constantine, 1998; Constantine & Lockwood, 1999]. An abstract prototype allows designers to describe the contents and overall organization of a user interface without specifying its detailed appearance or behavior; it is, thus, a model of the architecture of the user interface being designed. We and o...
متن کاملModel Checking for Action Abstraction
We endow action sets of transition systems with a partial order that expresses the degree of specialization of actions, and with an intuitive but flexible consistency predicate that constrains the extension of such orders with more specialized actions. We develop a satisfaction relation for such models and the μ-calculus. We then prove that this satisfaction relation is sound for Thomsen’s exte...
متن کاملNeural bases of action abstraction.
There has been recent debate over whether actions are processed primarily by means of motor simulation or cognitive semantics. The current study investigated how abstract action concepts are processed in the brain, independent of the format in which they are presented. Eighteen healthy adult participants viewed different actions (e.g., diving, boxing) in the form of verbs and schematic action p...
