Abstract
Emerging technologies such as virtual reality and robots are evolving to increasingly integrate the user into the interface. During this temporary merge, users experience a digital or a robotic body of an avatar as their own. Embodied cognition sustains that the body and its interactions with the environment play an important role in cognition. I argue that the adoption of mediated embodiment technologies to explore cognitive development might substantially contribute to demonstrating the postulates of embodied cognition.
