Handys befriedigen unser Bedürfnis, etwas mit den Händen zu machen

Sehr spannende Idee in einem Video von Hazel Thayer: Unsere Hände sind eng mit unserem Gehirn verbunden und unser Gehirn neigt in unterschiedlichem Maße dazu, zu „wandern“. Dieses „mind wandering“ könnte eng mit dem Bedürfnis verbunden sein, etwas mit unseren Händen zu machen, was kaum konkrete Aufmerksamkeit erfordert – wie zum Beispiel zur Routine gewordene Handarbeit. Hier bietet das Handy mit seinen Möglichkeiten zu wischen und zu tippen ein sehr attraktives Angebot, das […]

The Role of Prior Knowledge in Effects of Embodied Pedagogies on Learning: https://osf.io/qyjp9
"learners with lower prior knowledge, because they lack the foundational understanding needed to make sense of abstract representations, benefit from actively performing actions. In contrast, learners who have higher prior knowledge will learn better from observing actions as it enables more opportunity for connection-making and transfer."

## Embodied Cognition
**Subtitle:** The brain doesn’t think alone.

Thought is movement.
A tense jaw narrows perception; a slow breath widens it.
Our nervous systems write memory in muscle and rhythm,
long before language files the report.

To feel again is to know again.
Accessibility isn’t accommodation—it’s architecture.
Feeling is data.

“ Anatomy is destiny.”
~ Sigmund Freud
Where does your brain stop and your body begin? Do your mental processes have a boundary? What do we mean by ‘cognition’ anyway?

Monday Love to your Creative Cognition

“ Anatomy is destiny.” ~ Sigmund Freud Where does your brain stop and your body begin? Do your mental processes have a boundary? What do we mean by 'cognition' anyway? Great minds from Plato to Freud have long wrestled with the inner workings of our noggins. The eternal question is how our brain works together with our body to interpret and act

Okay, this is a long and meandering post: Deconstructing “What’s Worth Doing?” But, I use (and made!) lots and LOTS of pictures—30 pictures!! 🤪 This is me looking at *HOW* a specific learning card deck encourages and supports better thinking. And other ways this could have been done.

LLMs lack bodies. Chemero (2023): Embodiment shapes human thought. Mice navigate via physical interaction (Shamash et al.). Can algorithms ever “understand” without senses, pain, or movement? Or is cognition inherently tied to flesh?

LLMs differ from human cognition because they are not embodied - Nature Human Behaviour

Large language models (LLMs) are impressive technological creations but they cannot replace all scientific theories of cognition. A science of cognition must focus on humans as embodied, social animals who are embedded in material, cultural and technological contexts.

🔍🧠 Words don’t just have meaning – they feel different in your brain! Our study shows that even in quick word tasks, sensory meanings light up: Seeing “white” in our mind is faster than feeling “warm”. But why do some senses dominate while others lag behind?
