The authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR). MR environments merge the digital with the physical, where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet. Recent research supports the idea that body activity can be an important catalyst for generating learning, and new technologies are being developed that use natural human physicality and gesture as input. However, existing research on embodied learning technologies has been disparate, driven largely by specific technical innovations and constraints, and often lacking a clear focus on establishing their efficacy in educational contexts. On the basis of the unique characteristics of these technologies and on their own experiences conducting research in this area, the authors put forth six precepts for embodied learning technology researchers that pertain to the rationale, design, and...read more

Measuring Cognitive Load in Embodied Learning Settings.
TL;DR: This review provides an overview over recent studies on embodied learning in which cognitive load was measured using surveys, behavioral data, or physiological measures and highlights the most important challenges for researchers aiming to include these measures into their study designs.

Making sense of movement in embodied design for mathematics learning
Dor Abrahamson,Arthur Bakker +1 more
TL;DR: This theoretical essay draws on embodiment and systems literature as well as findings from design research so as to offer the following taxonomy that may facilitate discourse about movement in STEM learning.

Enhancement of Anatomical Education Using Augmented Reality: An Empirical Study of Body Painting.
Roghayeh Barmaki,Kevin Yu,Rebecca Pearlman,Richard Shingles,Felix Bork,Greg Osgood,Nassir Navab,Nassir Navab +7 more
TL;DR: The proposed REFLECT system uses the augmented reality magic mirror paradigm to superimpose anatomical visualizations over the user’s body in a large display, creating the impression that she sees the relevant anatomic illustrations inside her own body.

Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.

A Taxonomy of Mixed Reality Visual Displays
Paul Milgram,Fumio Kishino +1 more
TL;DR: Paul Milgram's research interests include display and control issues in telerobotics and virtual environments, stereoscopic video and computer graphics, cognitive engineering, and human factors issues in medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six views of embodied cognition.
TL;DR: The sixth claim has received the least attention in the literature on embodied cognition, but it may in fact be the best documented and most powerful of the six claims.
Book
How the body shapes the mind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the origins of the notion of EMBODIMENT and explore the connections between physics, philosophy, and pathology, focusing on pseudoscience.
