Many researchers have suggested that tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have potential to support learning. However, the theories used to explain possible effects are often invoked at a very broad level without explication of specific mechanisms by which the affordances of TUIs may be important for learning processes. Equally problematic, we lack theoretically-grounded guidance for TUI designers a...

ABSTRACT Studies on “embodiment” show that moving your body can enhance cognition. We investigated such effects in a verbal memory task across age.

Why is it important to know that mathematical knowledge is embodied? Nathan and Alibali s...

The aim of this thesis is to report on a transdisciplinary approach, regarding the complexity of thinking about human embodiment in relation to machine embodiment. A practical dimension of this thesis is to elicit some principles for the design and evaluation of virtual embodiment. The transdisciplinary approach suggests, firstly, that a single discipline or reality is, on its own, not sufficie...
