A missing link
There is a point that I have been grappling with but not quite expressing. Today I found a paper which I think provides the missing link - I've been recognising that there's an oddly fitting but very much real link between haptics from HCI, kinesthetic learning theories from education and Embodied Cognition (from all over the place!), but I haven't really been able to grasp the shape of it and it's been making my research difficult. Well today I found this paper:
which expresses what I have been failing to put into words.. that link.....as a result, the tentative dotted lines I put between haptics, embodied cognition and kinesthetic learning, in my cognate domains diagram feels far more justified. It felt important - as if without understand the relationship I couldn't move forward in my studies and I could not fully combine my role spanning Learning and Technology. Now it all seems to fit into place!
