Research priorities

  • Embodied mechanisms of attention, memory, and learning in context

  • Interactions among cognitive load, embodiment, and environmental affordances

  • Learning with manipulatives with/and affordances (digital simulations, augmented/virtual/extended reality, exergames/exerlearning)

  • Mechanisms, mediators, and moderators of physical activity and academic achievement, executive function, metacognition, intelligence, creativity, wellbeing, quality of life

  • Impact of exercise on cognitive neuroscience (EEG, fMRI)

  • Assessment, measurement validity, instrumentation, analytic advances, and interventions

  • Authentic-setting studies: classrooms, labs-in-the-field, and workplaces

Practice and policy

  • Open materials and datasets for reproducibility and reuse

  • Design, evaluation, and implementation of embodied (gestures/physical activity) and context-aware instruction and training

  • Evidence synthesis and translation for educators, teachers, trainers, practitioners, policy makers, and industry

  • Equity, accessibility, and inclusion in embodied learning environments
