ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the body cueing and its role in instigating new learning. The author briefly examines how cueing has been employed in psychology, education, and professional training research in the past. He describes studies suggesting the possibility that cueing physical movements can be an effective way to instigate, sustain, and extend learning processes across a wide range of domains. The chapter specifically discusses the role that digital technologies can play in cueing body movement that engenders learning. The author offers a few examples from his own research on using embodied cues as a way to cultivate conceptual development. The chapter concludes with some guidelines for utilizing body cueing in educational designs. The chapter specifically focuses on the potential to design interactive learning environments that excite the body to action-technologies that cue our movements and subsequently trigger new inferences or create anchors for lasting memories.
