Abstract
In this chapter, we describe how embodiment has been used as a pedagogical tool to enhance learning. Starting from a brief historical overview of the philosophical and later scientific debate on action-perception, we unfold the role of embodiment in educational settings. Then we highlight existing theoretical frameworks, as well as empirical studies in gestures, fine-motor, and gross-motor movements. Lastly, we lay the foundation for connecting the physiological mechanism of interoception to our cognitive functions.
