  2. 1. Minding the Body : Interacting socially through embodied action

    Author : Jessica Lindblom; Tom Ziemke; Shaun Gallagher; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Embodiment; embodied cognition; embodied cognitive science; social interaction; social cognition; embodied action; interactive technology; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This dissertation clarifies the role and relevance of the body in social interaction and cognition from an embodied cognitive science perspective. Theories of embodied cognition have during the past two decades offered a radical shift in explanations of the human mind, from traditional computationalism which considers cognition in terms of internal symbolic representations and computational processes, to emphasizing the way cognition is shaped by the body and its sensorimotor interaction with the surrounding social and material world.

  4. 2. Embodied simulation as off-line representation

    Author : Henrik Svensson; Tom Ziemke; Germund Hesslow; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Embodied cognition; Simulation theories; Emulation; Forward models; Perception; Action; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap; Teknik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis argues that a key to understanding the embodiment of cognition is the “sharing” of neural mechanisms between sensorimotor processes and higher-level cognitive processes as described by simulation theories. Simulation theories explain higher-level cognition as (partial) simulations or emulations of sensorimotor processes through the re-activation of neural circuitry also active in bodily perception, action, and emotion.

  5. 3. Situated Play

    Author : Jana Rambusch; Tom Ziemke; Tarja Susi; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; embodied and situated cognition; situatedness; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Teknik; Technology; Cognitive science;

    Abstract :   This thesis addresses computer game play activities from the perspective of embodied and situated cognition. From such a perspective, game play can be divided into the physical handling of the game and the players' understanding of it. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies in the Dynamics of Science : Exploring emergence, classification, and interdisciplinarity

    Author : Qi Wang; Ulf Sandström; Martin Meyer; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; science dynamics; bibliometrics; emerging research topics; interdisciplinary research; journal classification systems; cognitive distance; research policy;

    Abstract : The dynamic nature of science is embodied in the growth of knowledge in magnitude and the transformation of knowledge in structure. More specifically, the growth in magnitude is indicated by a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications in recent decades. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analogical reasoning in science education : - connections to semantics and scientific modelling in thermodynamics

    Author : Jesper Haglund; Helge Strömdahl; Konrad Schönborn; Roland Kjellander; Kevin Dunbar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; science education; thermodynamics; analogical reasoning; semantics; scientific modelling; naturvetenskapsdidaktik; termodynamik; analogiskt tänkande; semantik; vetenskaplig modellering;

    Abstract : Analogiskt tänkande är en central kognitiv förmåga som vi använder i vardagslivet, såväl som i mer formella sammanhang, såsom i forskning och undervisning. Föreliggande avhandling behandlar hur analogier och analogiskt tänkande, uppmärksamhet på semantik och förståelse för vetenskaplig modellering kan användas för att hantera utmaningar i naturvetenskapsundervisningen, särskilt inom området termodynamik.
