“…-and then check for accuracy. Such effects of situated interviewing on recall have been described in the embodied cognition literature, especially regarding the positive influence of kinetic cues (Barsalou, 2009;Cole, Hood, & McDermott, 1997;Dijkstra, Kaschak, & Zwaan, 2007). It seems that the more similar the context of memory retrieval is to the context of memory encoding, the better is the recall, and that having multimodal cues helps, especially when they are spatial or motor -see the enactment effect (Engelkamp & Cohen, 1991).…”

“…In this way, there is a greater cognitive involvement of the learner. This involvement may come from better spatial cues or kinetic cues (Barsalou, 2009;Dijkstra et al, 2007;Engelkamp & Cohen, 1991;Lahlou, 2011c); more involvement of the mirror-neuron system (Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004), among other hypotheses. We are currently testing the effect of first vs third person perspective on re-enactment and FPP seems, at least in the case of food, to provoke stronger re-enactments than third person perspective (Basso et al, in preparation).…”

Subjective Evidence Based Ethnography (SEBE) is a method designed to access subjective experience. It uses First Person Perspective (FPP) digital recordings as a basis for analytic Replay Interviews (RIW) with the participants. This triggers their memory and enables a detailed step by step understanding of activity: goals, subgoals, determinants of actions, decision-making processes, etc. This paper describes the technique and two applications. First, the analysis of professional practices for know-how transferring purposes in industry is illustrated with the analysis of nuclear power-plant operators' gestures. This shows how SEBE enables modelling activity, describing good and bad practices, risky situations, and expert tacit knowledge. Second, the analysis of full days lived by Polish mothers taking care of their children is described, with a specific focus on how they manage their eating and drinking. This research has been done on a sub-sample of a large scale intervention designed to increase plain water drinking vs sweet beverages. It illustrates the interest of SEBE as an exploratory technique in complement to other more classic approaches such as questionnaires and behavioural diaries. It provides the detailed "how" of the effects that are measured at aggregate level by other techniques.Acknowledgments: This paper benefited from the smart and constructive comments of three anonymous reviewers.

“…The above was possible due to more (namely three) degrees of freedom (DoF) available in comparison with the usual PC mouse, which provides 2 DoF [41]. With respect to embodied cognition approach where the cognition is considered to be body based activity as well as subjected to the situational contexts [42][43][44], the 3 DoF and free 3D movement enabled participants to carry out natural and interface-independent patterns of movements when controlling the visualizations. Experiment 2 was displayed using the VRECKO software system.…”

When the display matters: A multifaceted perspective on 3D geovisualizations

This study explores the influence of stereoscopic (real) 3D and monoscopic (pseudo) 3D visualization on the human ability to reckon altitude information in noninteractive and interactive 3D geovisualizations. A two phased experiment was carried out to compare the performance of two groups of participants, one of them using the real 3D and the other one pseudo 3D visualization of geographical data. A homogeneous group of 61 psychology students, inexperienced in processing of geographical data, were tested with respect to their efficiency at identifying altitudes of the displayed landscape. The first phase of the experiment was designed as non-interactive, where static 3D visual displays were presented; the second phase was designed as interactive and the participants were allowed to explore the scene by adjusting the position of the virtual camera. The investigated variables included accuracy at altitude identification, time demands and the amount of the participant's motor activity performed during interaction with geovisualization. The interface was created using a Motion Capture system, Wii Remote Controller, widescreen projection and the passive Dolby 3D technology (for real 3D vision). The real 3D visual display was shown to significantly increase the accuracy of the landscape altitude identification in non-interactive tasks. As expected, in the interactive phase there were differences in accuracy flattened out between groups due to the possibility of interaction, with no other statistically significant differences in completion times or motor activity. The increased number of omitted objects in real 3D condition was further subjected to an exploratory analysis.

“…Autobiographical memory becomes facilitated when bodily postures during recall are similar to those during the original events (Dijkstra, Kaschak, & Zwaan, 2005;Schnall & Laird, 2003). Finally, wearing glasses during an intelligence test may lead people to describe themselves as more scholarly and competent, particularly among those responsive to self-produced cues (Kellerman & Laird, 1982).…”
