What, Why, Where & How do children think? Towards a dynamic model of Spatial Cognition as Action SCA
نویسنده
چکیده
The Perception-Action-Cycle is revisited within a biological systems approach and considers gesture in the context of Dynamic Systems Theory. A partial descriptive feature based model of Spatial Cognition in Action (SCA) is developed by the examination of children’s embodied gestures that are rooted in action. The model brings together ecological and corporeal paradigms with evidence from neurobiological and cognitive science research. Ludic interaction studies provide a corpus of gesture repertoires from both neuro-atypical and neuro-typical children. The model is considered as a hypothetical and dynamic construct for intervention, planning and design of interaction technology for neuro-atypical children’s pedagogy and rehabilitation.

متن کاملMistaking the Map for the Territory: What Society Does With Medicine; Comment on “Medicalisation and Overdiagnosis: What Society Does to Medicine”
Van Dijk et al describe how society’s influence on medicine drives both medicalisation and overdiagnosis, and allege that a major political and ethical concern regarding our increasingly interpreting the world through a biomedical lens is that it serves to individualise and depoliticize social problems. I argue that for medicalisation to serve this purpose, it would have to exclude the possibil...
