Design for embodied remembering is grounded in embodied cognition: the notion that our bodies are an integral part of our cognitive processes, including remembering. For example, we use our bodies to offload information, such as counting on our fingers, or to rely on automated movements without much attention, like cycling. In my research I specifically focus on how we use our bodies in remembering, and how we can design technologies that support embodied remembering.
Next steps
The current research is mostly aimed at solo embodied remembering: the person that tries to remembering something, does that merely for themselves and not for someone else. In future research, I am interested in how we can create technologies that support social embodied remembering, where two people are engaged in embodied remembering.
