Notes on methodology Experiments useful to test ideas: a lot of evidence about potential benefits of bodily engagement compared to just watching people do something However, to design interventions that can be compared with something else, alternative approaches are necessary, such as research-based design or design-based research In doing so, we encounter many new phenomena worth studying, and face challenges coming with including perception and action in cognitive studies
