Discussions on the body frequently foreground in empirical studies of social representations. However, there is scarce theoretical literature within representations theory focusing embodied representation. This paper aims to contribute understanding embodied, sensory experiences as part More precisely, it attempts elaborate how individual, social, bodily, and material layers work together appro...

The central representation of numerical cognition is commonly considered an abstract magnitude representation serving as one key precursor for higher mathematical thinking. However, recent research indicates that the representation might not be purely abstract. In fact, accumulating evidence suggests that numerical representations are rooted in and shaped by specific motor activities and sensor...

This paper focuses on the changes in thinking involved in the transition from school mathematics to formal proof in pure mathematics at university. School mathematics is seen as a combination of visual representations, including geometry and graphs, together with symbolic calculations and manipulations. Pure mathematics in university shifts towards a formal framework of axiomatic systems and ma...
