The broad goal of this report is to describe a form of knowing and a way of participating in mathematics learning that contribute to and further alternative views of transfer of learning. We selected an episode with an undergraduate student engaged in a number of different tasks involving a physical tool called “water wheel”. The embodied cognition literature is rich with connections between ki...

Cartesian control algorithms are presented for 6-dof force-reflecting hand-controllers (FRHCs) used for simultaneous operator position/orientation (or rate) commands to a virtual reality (VR) system and virtual force/moment kinesthetic reflection to the operator. The commands and kinesthetic feedback are transferred in Cartesian space. The task force/moment (wrench) dominates while features are...

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills based on learning styles with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles. was quantitative qualitative descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of 8 students each style at level ability. Data collection in this used tests determine the skills, questionnaires student styles, interviews. test carried out material two-variable...

Background: The effective 3D manipulation, comprehension, and control of 3D objects on computers are well-established lasting problems, which include a display aspect, a control aspect, and a spatial coupling between control input and visual output aspect, which is a debatable issue. Most existing control interfaces are located in front of the display. This requires users to imagine that manipu...

Motor imagery (MI) refers to the process of imagining the execution of a specific motor action without actually producing an overt movement. Two forms of MI have been distinguished: visual MI and kinesthetic MI. To distinguish between these forms of MI we employed an event related potential (ERP) study to measure interference effects induced by hand orientation manipulations in a hand lateralit...

A sensory substitution technique is presented in which the kinesthetic and tactile feedback are substituted by tactile feedback only provided by two wearable devices able to apply forces to the index finger and thumb holding a handle during a needle insertion task. The force pattern fed back to the user while using the tactile device is similar, in terms of intensity and area of application, to...

The present study examined the differential effects of kinesthetic imagery (first person perspective) and visual imagery (third person perspective) on postural sway during quiet standing. Based on an embodied cognition perspective, the authors predicted that kinesthetic imagery would lead to activations in movement-relevant motor systems to a greater degree than visual imagery. This prediction ...

In this article, we show a method of research-action performed in a second grade primary school (7 year-old students), where the games are used in the didactic activities in order to improve the students' linguistic skills and to analyse the different styles of learning adopted by the children. This research was conducted according to VK-Selverman model of learning. Firstly, the teacher wrote a...
