Main Research Areas

In my research I investigate the impact of embodied learning for children in virtual reality learning applications. Embodied cognition emphasizes the connection between the mind and the body, suggesting that learning is not solely a mental process but also influenced by physical actions and sensory experiences. By immersing children in virtual environments that encourage physical interaction and engagement I explore playful ways to enhance cognitive processes and learning outcomes, currently focussing on basic mathematical skills.
