Candace Walkington; Mitchell J. Nathan; Min Wang; Kelsey Schenck – Grantee Submission, 2022
Theories of grounded and embodied cognition offer a range of accounts of how reasoning and body-based processes are related to each other. To advance theories of grounded and embodied cognition, we explore the "cognitive relevance" of particular body states to associated math concepts. We test competing models of action-cognition…

Swart, Michael I.; Schenck, Kelsey E.; Xia, Fangli; Kim, Doy; Kwon, Oh Hoon; Nathan, Mitchell J.; Walkington, Candace – Grantee Submission, 2020
The Hidden Village (THV) is a motion-capture video game for investigating how physical movements foster mathematical thinking and proof practices based on principles of embodied cognition. Analysis of the interactions of students in an all-Limited English Proficiency Title 1 high school geometry classroom revealed ways simulated enactment and…
