Experiential learning – a systematic review and revision of Kolb’s model
TL;DR: A revision to Kolb’s model is proposed: experiential learning consists of contextually rich concrete experience, critical reflective observation, contextual-specific abstract conceptualization, and pragmatic active experimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Embedded and Embodied Cognition Review of Instructional Manipulatives
TL;DR: The authors argued that perceptual and interactive richness may provide opportunities for alleviating cognitive load, and that transfer of learning is not reliant on decontextualized knowledge but may draw on previous sensorimotor experiences of the kind afforded by perceptual or interactive richness of manipulatives.

Towards Continual Reinforcement Learning: A Review and Perspectives.
TL;DR: A taxonomy of different continual RL formulations and mathematically characterize the non-stationary dynamics of each setting is provided, providing an overview of benchmarks used in the literature and important metrics for understanding agent performance.

Developing embodied cognition: insights from children’s concepts and language processing
Michele Wellsby,Penny M. Pexman +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that in order for an embodied cognition perspective to be refined and advanced as a lifelong theory of cognition, it is important to consider what can be learned from research with children.

Don’t Forget About the Body: Exploring the Curricular Possibilities of Embodied Pedagogy
David J. Nguyen,Jay B. Larson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors offer an integration of extant literature analyzing isolated applications of embodied pedagogy into a holistic curricular vision, employing a constructivist lens informed by the socially situated perspectives of critical pedagology.

Do Babies Learn From Baby Media
Judy S. DeLoache,Cynthia Chiong,Kathleen Sherman,Nadia Islam,Mieke Vanderborght,Georgene L. Troseth,Gabrielle A. Strouse,Katherine O’Doherty +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that infants learn relatively little from infant media and that their parents sometimes overestimate what they do learn.

A Neural System for Learning about Object Function
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging findings indicate that this distributed network is automatically engaged in support of object identification, and the regions included in this network mirror those active when subjects retrieve information about tools and their properties, suggesting that these previously novel objects have attained the conceptual status of "tools."
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual flexibility in the human brain: Dynamic recruitment of semantic maps from visual, motor, and motion-related areas
TL;DR: The results suggest that concepts are situational-dependent mental entities composed of semantic features which are flexibly recruited from distributed, yet localized, semantic maps in modality-specific brain regions depending on contextual constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Two-Level Theory of verb meaning: An approach to integrating the semantics of action with the mirror neuron system
TL;DR: No studies have satisfied all the criteria necessary to support the more specific neurobiological claims made by the two hypotheses-namely, that each level of verb meaning is associated with mirror neurons in the pertinent brain regions, which would require demonstrating that within those regions the same neuronal populations are engaged during (a) the linguistic processing of particular motor features of verb mean, (b) the execution of actions with the corresponding motor features, and (c) the observation ofactions with the equivalent motor features.

Perceptual simulation in property verification.
TL;DR: As predicted, neutral subjects exhibited both perceptual effort and instructional equivalence, consistent with the assumption that they construct perceptual simulations spontaneously to verify properties, and indicates that conceptual tasks engender mixtures of simulation and word association, and that researchers must deter word association strategies when the goal is to assess conceptual knowledge.
