Abstract [en]

In this chapter we discuss games from an embodiment perspective and illustrate the importance of a particular category of embodied experience where perception, action, and socio-cultural context are closely interrelated. The embodied experiences we have in mind relate to young children’s learning, in particular to understanding the abstract concept of risk awareness. We are interested in how young people can grasp this concept through embodied experiences mediated by a computer game. Online risk is inherently abstract for young children and as such is difficult to grasp due to their level of cognitive maturity. Since the abstract concept is not grounded in experience, it needs to be made concrete through their own hands-on experience. The overarching purpose is to enable young children to make sound decisions when faced with uncomfortable or even threatening situations during online interactions. The experiences we discuss include both game experiences and what we term pre-experiences which may be remembered at a later point in time when faced with real-world events.
