The language of urban poverty : institutional action, perception, and lived experience within Batu and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
… the complex interplay between institutional action, perception, and lived experience of urban poverty, I contend that historical and social relationships between the poor and non-poor shape the plight of the urban poor. I further explore how these social and historical constructs are …

Short- and Long-Term Changes in Attention, Memory and Brain Activity Following Exercise, Motor Learning, and Expertise
How humans perceive, embody, and execute actions has been an area of intense study in cognitive neuroscience, and these investigations shed light on how we adaptively learn from and interact with an ever-changing world. All of the knowledge associated with action, including sensorimotor …

Shaping the perceptual representation of observed human action through prediction.
Understanding the actions of others is crucial for all social interactions. Despite a dynamic and complicated social world, humans can derive the goals, attitudes and beliefs that drive others’ actions, imbuing them with meaning and understanding. While such abilities were traditionally accounted …

Semantic and motor processes in infant perception of object-directed and tool-mediated action
Actions are the translation of internal states such as intentions into overt gestures and goals. Actions are communicative, because by observing another’s overt behaviour we can infer that person’s internal states. Infants’ abilities to execute actions are limited by developing motor processes. …

Out of Action? – Re-evaluating Methodological Challenges in Embodied Semantics Research
… that meaning inevitably needs to be grounded in action and perception. Over the last twenty years, an impressive body of evidence has been put forward in its favour. Particularly the seemingly highly reliable Action-Sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE), suggesting a congruency effect between an …

Developing Computational Thinking Through Grounded Embodied Cognition
… and mentally simulated (Imagined Embodiment) the actions and events as presented within pre-defined Scripts. Instructional Embodiment utilizes action, perception, and environment to create a dynamic, interactive teaching and learning scenario that builds upon previous research in embodied teaching …

Understanding language and attention: brain-based model and neurophysiological experiments
… acquisition and processing, and the complex interactions of language and attention processes in the human brain. In particular, this research was motivated by two sets of existing neurophysiological data which cannot be reconciled on the basis of current psycholinguistic accounts: on the one hand, …

Action-Inspired Approach to Design of Navigation Techniques for Effective Spatial Learning in 3-D Virtual Environments
… for human spatial learning. We propose an action-inspired approach, to design convenient and effective navigation techniques for supporting people to acquire accurate spatial knowledge acquisition or improve spatial learning. The action-inspired approach is based on our insights from …
