We hunters: interactive communication for young cavemen

A systematic survey on embodied cognition: 11 years of research in child–computer interaction

“…It is essential to create opportunities for healthy competition and interactions in designing such embodied scenarios, depending on the skills or applications being engaged. Some systems eliminate competition [5,62], while others encourage competition [6] depending on the learning goal. This might lead to a higher level of unpredictability, especially when running studies with younger children, but this can allow for more innovative and diverse results and design methods.…”

“…Embodied interactions can help augment otherwise "mundane" reproductions of learning materials. This includes the learning of concepts like nectar collection [6], which use indicators like light sensors and a history of hunting strategies using gestures [5]. However, there is a gap in more art and design-related learning interactions, which help in the teaching and learning of abstract 2D concepts [65] by leveraging embodied technologies (such as embedded and wearable computing, projectors, gesture recognition techniques, and so forth).…”

“…There were a wide variety of papers by different authors; however, three authors had the most papers attached to their names. Narcís Parés had seven co-authored papers [5,62,77,17,84,89,93], followed by Laura Malinverni with four main-authored papers [77,84,93,100] and Joan Mora-Guiard who had three main-authored papers [17,62,89].…”

“…and post-test (5). We also saw combinations of different experimental designs like pre-test and post-test ( 5), individually and within groups (9), and one study combining individually, within groups, and a post-test.…”

“…The focus on such perceptuomotor structures within this context as avenues of embodiment and cognition is heavily focused on how specific movements are tied to seeing. These "microworlds" serve as constraints and could either be imaginary [3], tangible [5,6] or virtual [7]. Embodied movements in interactions can also provide unique opportunities to explore conceptual ideas.…”
