RESEARCH REPORT

“Give Your Ideas Some Legs: The Positive Effect of Walking on Creative Thinking”
by Marily Oppezzo and Daniel L. Schwartz

Walking is not merely a pause before thinking. Sometimes it is the condition under which thinking changes shape.

COGNITIVE SCIENCE: A NARRATIVE OF DISCONNECTIONS

Cognitive science explores how we think, remember, and learn. New ideas like embodied cognition focus on the body's role in thinking.

The Role of Prior Knowledge in Effects of Embodied Pedagogies on Learning: https://osf.io/qyjp9
"learners with lower prior knowledge, because they lack the foundational understanding needed to make sense of abstract representations, benefit from actively performing actions. In contrast, learners who have higher prior knowledge will learn better from observing actions as it enables more opportunity for connection-making and transfer."

## Embodied Cognition
**Subtitle:** The brain doesn’t think alone.

Thought is movement.
A tense jaw narrows perception; a slow breath widens it.
Our nervous systems write memory in muscle and rhythm,
long before language files the report.

To feel again is to know again.
Accessibility isn’t accommodation—it’s architecture.
Feeling is data.

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.

LLMs lack bodies. Chemero (2023): Embodiment shapes human thought. Mice navigate via physical interaction (Shamash et al.). Can algorithms ever “understand” without senses, pain, or movement? Or is cognition inherently tied to flesh?

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:
https://clea.group

Hope to see you there!

Awesome day 1 of Embodied Cognition and Learning class! We explored a network connecting us to theories and topics of interest and then discussed how embodying this with ourselves and balloons had different affordances than visualizing with software. #EmbodiedCognition #LearningSciences @learningsciences

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! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11412-023-09395-z @learningsciences #LearningSciences #EmbodiedCognition #MixedReality
