On the basis of two premises and embodied cognition theory, the vibration tactile learning is proposed as an effective method for foreign language learning. The premises are: the real nature of language is sound and the source of sound is vibration. According to embodied cognition theory, cognition is inherently connected to bodily sensation rather than metaphysical and independent. As a result, the vibration tactile learning is: people are able to learn foreign language better by listening to sound and experiencing its vibration through touch rather than solely listening to sound. The effectiveness of vibration tactile learning is tested with two instructional media theories: media comparison and media attribute. For the comparison, an experiment is conducted with control and experimental groups. The attributes of vibration tactile media are investigated in points of relationships with the learning process. The experiment results indicate a small effect on the increased mean score. Three kinds of relationships are found between the media attribute and learning process: enforced stimulus, facilitated pronunciation, and assimilation of resonance to sound patterns through touch. Finally, this paper proposes a new theoretical development for instructional media research: an embodied cognition based media research and development.

본 논문은 심성이나 인지적 과정을 두뇌의 과정으로만 이해하는 신데카르트주의적 두뇌 중심주의에 반하여, 인지에 있어서 신체나 환경의 본질적 역할을 강조하는 '체화된 인지' 연구의 핵심적 주장이 무엇인지를 분석하고, 그 아래에 포섭될 수 있는 여러 이론 사이에서 발생할 수 있는 긴장 관계를 다룬다. 특히 체화된 인지에 대한 샤피로의 주장과 확장된 인지에 대한 클락의 주장을 중점적으로 비교하며, 블록이 제기한 기능주의의 딜레마를 통하여 이 두 이론 사이의 긴장을 조명한다. 샤피로의 체화된 인지가 쇼비니즘적 기능주의의 길을 택했다면 클락의 확장된 인지는 자유로운 기능주의의 길로 가고 있다.

The theory of embodied cognition assumes that behaviors, senses and cognitions are closely connected, and there is a growing interest in investigating the significance of embodied cognition in the field of mathematics education. This study aims to applicate the embodied turtle metaphor and expressions when students visualize three-dimensional objects. We used MRT(Verdenberg & Kuse, 1978) & SVT for this research and both tests turned out that turtle schemes are useful to the students in a low level group. In addition, students found turtle schemes more useful in SVT which requires constructing three-dimensional objects, than in MRT which requires just rotating the image of three-dimensional objects in their mind. These results suggest that providing students who are less capable of spatial visualizing with the embodied schemes like turtle metaphor and expressions can be an alternative to improve their spatial visualization ability.

Objectives : This study was designed to signpost the study of brain, intelligence and memory, while interpreting the concept of 'Chongmyeong(聰明)' neotrically and linking it to the clinic of Korean medicine. Methods : In this paper, the meaning of the word 'Chongmyeong(聰明)' is divided into two parts, intelligence and memory. We also explored the relationship between brain science and 'Chongmyeong(聰明)' based on complex system theory, cognitive science and embodied cognition. Results : Through the process of refining the concept of 'Chongmyeong(聰明)' neoterically, we proposed the new method to understand the concept of 'Chongmyeong(聰明)'. Conclusions : The concept of 'Chongmyeong(聰明)' should be interpreted not as a reductionistic viewpoint of brain science but as a viewpoint of brain science based on visual and auditory system and complex system. Human cognition is physically embodied in the environment, from the viewpoint of embodied cognition that it is constituted and formed in an interactive context with society and culture connected with the environment.

Recent developments in embodied cognition suggest that people process environmental information by using their bodily state and mental simulation. The focus of embodiment theory is that cognitive processing is based on the interaction among the body, the mind, and the world. Based on embodied theories of cognition, the authors predict that when the representation of marathon running is activated, bodily feedback such as tiredness and thirst will occur because mental simulation of marathon running contains sensorimotor representation of marathon running. As a result, it is predicted that participants primed with marathon runner will have more desire to have products that enable thirsty-quenching. Specifically, this research proposes that consumers' tendency to adopt the perspective of others influences embodied cognition, since perspective taking leads people to assimilate their own self-judgments and behaviors toward the cognitive representations of others. An experiment reveals that both perceptual and cognitive perspective taking tendencies moderate how participants respond to the contextual cues. The effect of perspective taking is moderated by whether participants are prompted to adopt a first-person view or a third-person view. In detail, among the high perspective takers, those in the marathon-first-person condition drink more the mineral water than those in the marathon-third-person condition, who in turn drink more the mineral water than those in the control condition. Among the low perceptual perspective takers, however, there are no significant differences in the amount of mineral water intake. This research delivers important insights for advertising messages. When being exposed to an advertisement, high perspective taking consumers may be more engaged in the advertised message than low perspective taking consumers, which in turn high (vs. low) perspective taking consumers' tendency to respond behaviorally consistent with the message may be higher. Based on the findings of this research, if the message induces the high perspective taking consumers to have a first- (vs. third-) person view, this effect may be stronger. Moreover, if the advertising message contains behaviors, such as using the target product, inducing consumers to mimic the behaviors seems to bring more behavioral responses which marketers intend.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using visual stimulation and gesture, namely embodied language learning, on learning achievement and learner's course interest in the EFL classroom. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed purpose, thirty two third-grade elementary school students participated and were assigned into four English learning class conditions (i.e., using animated graphic and gestures condition, using only animated graphic condition, using still pictures and gesture condition, and control condition). The research questions for this study are addressed below: (1) What differences are there in post and delayed learning achievement between imitating gesture group and non-imitating one and between animated graphic group and still picture one? (2) What differences are there in course interest between imitating gesture group and non-imitating one and between animated graphic group and still picture one? The Embodiment-based English learning system for this study was designed by using Microsoft's Kinect sensing devices. The results of this study revealed that students of imitating gesture group memorized and retained better words and sentence structure than those of the other groups. As for learner's course interest measurement, imitating gesture group showed a highly positive response to attention, relevance, and satisfaction for curriculum and using animated graphic influenced satisfaction as well. This finding can be attributed to the embodied cognition, which proposes that the body and the mind are inseparable in the constitution of cognition and thus students using visual simulation and imitating related gesture regard the embodied language learning approach more satisfactory and acceptable than the conventional ones.

기존 인터페이스 연구는 전통적인 객관주의 인지 관점에 토대를 둔 수사적 메타포를 중심으로 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 미디어 환경의 변화로 인하여 기존의 연구 관점은 그 논리적 한계를 드러내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 체현 인지에 기반한 개념 메타포를 그 대안으로 제시하고 기존 인터페이스 환경에의 논리적 적합성을 고찰하였다. 고찰 결과 첫째, 체현 인지 관점은 총체적인 인지가 소통하는 공간 개념으로서의 인터페이스 관점을 제공해주는 이론이며, 체현 인지에 기반한 개념 메타포는 보다 구조화된 메타포 논리를 제공하여 복잡한 메타포 구조의 설명에 적합한 것으로 고찰되었다. 둘째, 그릇 이미지 스키마는 '안-밖-경계'의 기본적 구조 외에도 부차적 이미지 스키마를 제공하여 데스크탑 메타포를 설명하는 데 있어 기존 메타포에 비해 구체적이고 세부적인 구조를 제공해 준다. 셋째, 경로 이미지 스키마는 '출발점-경로-목적지'의 기본구조 외에도 부차적 이미지 스키마를 제공하여 기존 메타포가 가지는 논리 구조의 모호성과 혼란성을 해소하고 명확한 논리의 형성이 가능하다. 체현 인지에 기반한 개념 메타포는 인간의 물리적 경험을 그릇, 경로의 이미지 스키마로 표상함으로써 향후 다양한 미디어 환경의 인터페이스를 설명하는 이론적 근간이 될 것으로 기대된다.

공간 지각은 일반적으로 물체(형태)를 인식하는 능력에 대한 문제로 여겨진다. 대안적으로, 형태 지각 연구는 시각 공간의 기하학에 관한 논의에 기여한다. 이러한 공간의 기하학은 일반적으로 유클리드가 아닌, 타원, 유사성, 또는 아핀(affine) 기하학으로 알려져 왔다. 다시 말해, 많은 형태 지각 연구들에서 보여 왔듯, 공간은 변형된 기하학으로 지각된다. 이 논문의 목적은 지각된 형태와 시각적으로 유도되는 행동과 관련된 시각 공간의 기하학에 대한 이해를 돕기 위함이다. 따라서 지각과 행위의 관계에 대해 설명하고 있는 두 이론을 비교해 본다. 제한된 인지와 더 나아가서, 인공 지능 연구와의 융합에 있어서 이러한 인간의 기본적인 공간 지각 능력과 시각적으로 유도되는 행위를 먼저 이해하는 것이 중요하다.

In this research, we explore whether mere exposure to external cues with vertical progress (e.g., moving upward or moving downward) can influence individuals' persistence to complete focal tasks. Drawing on the theory of embodied cognition, we propose that, a moving-upward (vs. downward) cue activates the abstract concept of difficulty, which is associated with the physical experience of climbing uphill (vs. downhill). Due to this association between moving uphill and difficulty, merely exposing individuals to the moving-upward cue can induce greater feeling of difficulty and this greater difficulty, in turn, reduce individuals' persistence, compared to exposing individuals to the moving-downward cue. Across three studies, we find supporting evidence for the effect of the external cues with vertical progress on individuals' performance both in physical tasks and in a cognitive task.
