Embodied Learning

Professor Liye Zou received his PhD in Exercise Sciences from Springfield College (USA) in 2017 and is currently a Full Professor in the School of Psychology at Wuhan Sports University. He serves as Principal Investigator of the Body-Brain-Mind Laboratory and is an advocate of the World Health Organization consensus statement on 24-hour movement behaviors. Professor Zou has published more than 150 SCI/SSCI-indexed articles in leading journals, including Nature Human Behaviour, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Trends in Neurosciences, Trends in Molecular Medicine, Advanced Science, British Journal of Sports Medicine, and Journal of Sport and Health Science. His research has been widely cited by the World Health Organization and by China Education News, a major government-funded newspaper in China. In recognition of his scientific impact, he was named among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2022-2023) in the Stanford University ranking (Ioannidis et al.).

Dr. Johan Mårtensson, is Associate Professor and Head of office at Logopedics Phoniatrics and Audiology at Lund University with a joint appointment at the Humanities Lab. His research focuses on intervention studies using longitudinal MRI during language learning, often in school settings and in collaboration with teachers. His work relies on developments in MR physics to try to get a better understanding of what goes on when brain structure and function change during education.  

Dr. Qian Yu is a researcher in brain health and cognition whose work explores how lifestyle factors, including physical activity, mindfulness, and sedentary behavior, shape learning, cognitive function, and mental health across the lifespan. Her research combines multimodal neuroimaging, behavioral experimentation, physiological assessment, large-scale population databases, meta-analysis, Mendelian randomization, and machine learning. With expertise in MRI, fNIRS, EEG, TMS, and eye tracking, she aims to translate mechanistic insights from brain and behavior research into practical strategies for enhancing learning and promoting cognitive health.

Dr. Myrto Mavilidi is an Associate Professor of Brain and Learning at the Faculty of Education, Southern Cross University, Australia. Her current research is centred on the integration of movements and learning experiences, specifically through the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of school-based programs that blend movements with academic learning for children. She is looking at the benefits of active learning and cognitively engaging physical activity, through physically active lessons and active breaks, on children’s physical and cognitive (e.g., executive function, academic performance) and mental health outcomes. The main theoretical frameworks of her work are cognitive load theory and embodied cognition. She is the Chief Investigator with the Australian Research Council on a project on digital active learning in young children and Associate Investigator with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child.

Dr. Xiaoqing Gu is a professor and head of Department of Educational Information Technology, Faculty of Education, East China Normal University. She is the head of Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Digital Education Equipment. She is deeply committed to the research and practice of ICT in education. Research interests includes: artificial intelligence in education, learning sciences, learning analytic.  

Dr. Markus Raab is director and professor for psychology at the Institute of Psychology at the German Sport University, Cologne. He is Editor-in-Chief of Psychology, Sport and Exercise and past-president of the European Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPSAC). He received a PhD in sport science as well as a PhD in psychology and was fourteen times awarded by ECSS, FEPSAC, asp, DOSB, NCA, DGPs for his research. He published seven books and over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals. His main areas he is interested in covers judgment and decision making in sports and beyond, embodiment as well as motor learning and motor control.

Dr. Fred Paas is a Professor of Educational Psychology in the Department of Psychology, Education, and Child Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Since 1990, Dr. Paas has been a leading figure in the development of cognitive load theory, now regarded as one of the most influential frameworks in instructional design and educational research. His work focuses on applying cognitive load theory to design effective and efficient learning environments grounded in human cognitive architecture, and exploring the role of physical activity in managing cognitive load in technology-enhanced learning settings. Dr. Paas's research has had a major global impact, reflected in a Google Scholar h-index of 117 and over 76,000 citations. Since 2015, Dr. Paas has served as Editor-in-Chief of Educational Psychology Review, the leading journal in the field, and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Educational Psychology. He is a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
