Embodied Child Computer Interaction: Why Embodiment Matters

摘要

When I first read Paul Dourish, I was intrigued and compelled to learn more about the nature of embodied cognition. I was also interested in finding ways to apply embodied cognition to my research in child-computer interaction-where goals often involve the facilitation of engaged and playful learning rather than supporting adult work practices. After reading several more books, numerous articles, and having many conversations with colleagues, I came to that familiar place in human computer interaction research where I asked, but how do I apply these ideas? I was reminded of a paper on physical affordances entitled, "But How, Donald, Tell Us How?".
