How bodies matter: five themes for interaction design (2006, background): “It is this motor, or kinesthetic, memory [61] that is involved in knowing how to ride a bicycle, how to swim, how to impro-vise on the piano [67].”
Why do gestures matter? Sensuous cognition and the palpability of mathematical meanings (2009, background): “Now, the insertion of the body into an account of cognition in general and mathematics cognition in particular could hardly succeed without revisiting the idea of cognition itself (Arzarello 2006a, b; Lakoff and Johnson 1999; Lakoff and Nunez 2000; Nemirovsky 2003; Nunez, Edwards, & Matos 1999; Radf”
Construing Organizational Identity: The Role of Embodied Cognition (2010, background): “…remember, and express valuable information, and that these sensorimotor capacities form the basis of and extend beyond abstract conceptualizations (Gardner 1983, 1999; Heracleous and Jacobs 2008; Niedenthal et al. 2005; Pfeifer and Scheier 1999; Seitz 2000; Smith and Semin 2004; Wilson 2002).”
The Ethics of Being and Knowing: Towards a Cultural Theory of Learning (2008, background): “Because of the artifactual and embodied nature of thinking (Arzarello, Edwards, and Radford, 2008; Nemirovsky, 2003; Roth, 2001; Seitz, 2000), in the course of their objectification of knowledge, students and teachers use signs and artifacts of different sorts (mathematical symbols, graphs, words,…”
READING MATHEMATICS REPRESENTATIONS: AN EYE-TRACKING STUDY (2015, background): “Results in Neurosciences have shown that human cognition is embodied: not only the areas in the brain that are delegated to high mental processes are proximal to the ones related to sensorial experiences, body movements, and actions, but mostly cognition is strictly grounded in the human body, and i”
Drawing space: mathematicians’ kinetic conceptions of eigenvectors (2010, background): “We note that the last two types of metaphor in Seitz's scheme specifically involve motion and can be used to investigate the way in which ideational mathematics draws on kinesthetic experiences. The importance of motion in human intelligence has also been suggested by the cognitive linguist Talmy (1”
