Journal ArticleDOI
Embodied language: A review of the role of the motor system in language comprehension
Martin H. Fischer,Rolf A. Zwaan +1 more
TL;DR: A growing body of research suggests that comprehending verbal descriptions of actions relies on an internal simulation of the described action, and the role of motor resonance during language comprehension is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thinking with external representations
TL;DR: Seven ways external representations enhance cognitive power are discussed: they change the cost structure of the inferential landscape; they provide a structure that can serve as a shareable object of thought; they facilitate re-representation; they are often a more natural representation of structure than mental representations; and they lower the cost of controlling thought—they help coordinate thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design
TL;DR: The theory of embodied cognition can provide HCI practitioners and theorists with new ideas about interaction and new principles for better designs, and these ideas have major implications for interaction design, especially the design of tangible, physical, context aware, and telepresence systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a psychology of collective memory.
William Hirst,David Manier +1 more
TL;DR: The place of psychology within the now voluminous social scientific literature on collective memory is discussed, distinguishing between the design of social resources and memory practices, on one hand, and on the other, the effectiveness of each in forming and transforming the memories held by individuals and the psychological mechanisms that guide this effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Culture as situated cognition: Cultural mindsets, cultural fluency, and meaning making
TL;DR: This article used a situated cognition framework and experimental methods to demonstrate that salient cultural mindsets have causal downstream consequences for meaning making, self-processes, willingness to invest in relationships, and complex mental procedures.

Simulation, situated conceptualization, and prediction
TL;DR: Empirical findings from perception, action, working memory, conceptual processing, language and social cognition illustrate how this framework produces the extensive prediction that characterizes natural intelligence.

Situated Engineering Learning: Bridging Engineering Education Research and the Learning Sciences
Aditya Johri,Barbara M. Olds +1 more
TL;DR: Esmonde et al. as mentioned in this paper summarized prior work in the learning sciences and discussed one perspective, namely, situative learning, in depth and provided a foundation for future work on engineering learning and suggested ways in which the learning science and engineering education research communities might work to their mutual benefit.
