The embodied and situated nature of computer game play
University of Skövde, School of Humanities and Informatics. (Skövde Cognition and Artificial Intelligence Lab)
2006 (English)Conference paper, Published paper (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Computer games are being approached from a wide range of perspectives, but the activity of playing games, with the player and her actions in focus has, so far, not received much attention in academic research. Approaching games from a cognitive science perspective, however, it is argued in this paper that theories on embodied and situated cognition provide a strong basis for research on this particular issue since game play is a socially embodied and situated activity, shaped by the player’s bodily experience and her interactions with the game environment.
